walk by faith by obeying Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Closed Doors

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.

Be willing, to die daily
See self-crucified
As a child of the King
In Christ, all supplied.

Fully trusting God’s promises
With obedience to His word
Being steadfastness in prayer
By circumstances, undeterred.

Our life’s full of troubles
Tribulations, each day
Yet instead of our resting
We keep struggling, our way.

So do pray, that our hearts
Remain steadfast, unmoved
Walk by faith, not feelings
In Christ, wholly approved.

Yes Lord, let Your love
Be poured in my heart
No longer I live
May Christ, fill each part.

Still, so many today
Discard truths of scripture
Replaced by their ideas
Their feelings, their fiction.

Since nothing, is too hard
For our great God, to fulfill
Trusting fully in God
Keep obeying His will.

But, if our vision is great
Let us therefore, come boldly
To His throne of grace
To obtain mercy from God
Come wholly rest, in His grace.
