Trusting God, Despite His Answer

For our faith, is in our LORD,
Not in those answers, we favor.
Recall, He is our loving God.
We are of dust, He’s our Creator.

We’re ever craving, to be loved;
Fish for compliments, approval;
Ever wanting to feel wanted;
So insecure, fear disapproval.

From my background, as a Jew-
Rabbinical burdens, rules and rites-
But our Messiah, Yeshua, Jesus-
Fulfilled the prophets, brought me light.

With now our body, His Temple
Glorify God, in all He gives
Our soul, belongs to God.
By His Spirit, our spirit lives.

Single-minded, serving God
His Commands, His Commission
Not distracted by ‘religion’
Nor our pleasures-just His mission.

Be daily dying, to myself
Putting on the LORD Jesus
To walk by faith, being faithful
Knowing You, are ever with us.

With destruction, of the Temple
No more offerings, blood sacrifice
Instead of faith, in God’s salvation
Rabbis decided ‘works’, will suffice.

Are we carnal and fleshly
Walk by faith, or by sight?
By our lusts, sensual desires
Live by instincts, appetites?

So teach us to number
Our days, that we gain
Grant us, a heart of wisdom
For our lives, we must explain.

So how to set, our heart anew
To keep abiding in Jesus’ vine?
Not entrapped in carnal thoughts
Instead, be fixed on things divine.
