Walk in the Spirit or Flesh?
For if ignoring, or ignorant
Of God’s truth and reality
We’re poorly armed in the fight
Against temptation, so face calamity.
Overcome Works of the Flesh
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!
Our Anchor, Our Salvation
The One offering Himself
As our Passover Lamb
Atoned for our sin
Will we trust Him, or man?
Great Faith, God is Able
Fully trusting God’s promises
With obedience to His word
Being steadfastness in prayer
By circumstances, undeterred.
God’s Pressure Cooker
God uses all ways
To turn up the heat
To soften our hearts
Our hardness, defeat.
Victorious Suffering
Set our mind, on things above
Tho’ still suffering, not healed
Be not focused, on our feelings
Walk by faith, in our ordeal.
Chronic Suffering and Pain
So, while we may not be healed
Nor from suffering, delivered
But instead of dejection
We can rejoice, not be embittered.
Attitudes and Habits
So, choose forgiveness and love
For God’s truth, sets us free
From old attitudes, reactions
Call on Jesus, to Him flee.
What Does God Expect of Me?
Be teachable, be open
As clay in God’s hand
Humble, repentant
Obey, all He commands.
Our Battles are Won
For Jesus only, our Creator
Living in us, He can supply
His grace, ever sufficient
Simply trust Him, and abide.
