Faith for the future Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Love not the World

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

Why do You stand
Afar off, O LORD?
Why do You hide
Amidst troubles, outpoured?

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

Stay thankful, midst trials
See the sufferings, we face
When trusting in Jesus
Become blessings, by grace.

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

Set free, from compulsion
He restores our behavior
Our minds are renewed
What a wonderful Savior.

As you journey life’s road
And you look up ahead
Do your seek God’s guidance
Or just cruise by, instead?

As our lighthouse, our beacon
We can find the way
Jesus offers, eternal hope
Will we trust, and obey?

For our child learns to walk
In our footsteps each day
Let us follow the Master
Lest they learn other ways.

So, through seasons of life
As God leads to the next
Do trust and obey Him
Daily, enter His rest.
