Enter His Rest Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

LORD, Teach Us to Number Our Days

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

Know our call, we are to love
To bless and serve, not withhold
Agape love, that keeps on giving
Without conditions, without control.

Laying hold, His every promise
We are a child, of God divine
Trust Him wholly, amidst our suffering
He will deliver, His perfect time.

“By this My Father is glorified,
That you bear much fruit
So, you will be My disciples”
Daily abide …our chief pursuit.

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

We are given each day
For God’s glory, not mine
To obey and to please Him
For His purpose divine.

Then in place of merely drifting
If His child, and we obey
Seek His Word and His Spirit
Be transformed, by Christ each day.

Overwhelmed, on our own
We feel helpless, and lost
So set our mind, believe God’s Word
There is victory, through the cross.

With each worldview different answers,
Made in God’s image, Judeo-Christian.
With only Jesus addressing evil,
Conquered sin, restores and listens.

Who am I, my meaning?
Just why am I here?
My purpose, my mission?
Few have ears to hear.
