Abiding in God's Vine Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

But Wait on the LORD

Shall mount up, like eagles
Shall run, and not grow weary
They shall walk, and not faint
Know God, is ever with me.

When a door slams shut
There is rarely a ‘why’
God suddenly closes
‘Oft a puzzling surprise.

“Now the just shall live by faith
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”
So, seek much faith, do not lack.

Not by our own efforts
Our flesh, cannot conquer
We need Jesus’ power
Without Him, we falter.

And as a branch, in His vine
Jesus tells us, keep abiding
To bear fruit, of God’s Spirit
His ‘Self-control’, He is providing.

For if ignoring, or ignorant
Of God’s truth and reality
We’re poorly armed in the fight
Against temptation, so face calamity.

We daily crucify our flesh
As we abide, in Christ Jesus
Resolve to live, but by God’s Word
Assured God’s Spirit, is ever with us!

Are we seeing beyond
Life’s heartaches and pain
Great suffering, and sorrow
…Yet see God, bring gain?

So do rejoice, evermore
And pray without ceasing
In everything, give thanks
This is God’s will, unceasing.

The One offering Himself
As our Passover Lamb
Atoned for our sin
Will we trust Him, or man?
