The Just Shall Live by Faith

Yes, His righteousness revealed
From faith to faith
As Habakkuk wrote
“The just shall live by faith”.

Remember our lives
Are played on a stage
That God has designed
With plans for each age.

So, do drink your cup
Trust God, and obey
He is with you, midst sufferings
Know He’s present, always.

Yet, He bids us to follow
We must take up, our cross
Abide in Him daily
Count all things as loss.

This Christmas, remember
The gift that God gave
His beloved dear Son
To seek and to save.

Do give thanks in all
Whatever God brings
Do praise His Name
For truly, everything.

Are you thankful this year
Recalling God’s kindness
His daily, unfailing love
Despite our flaws, and blindness?

Take time, to smell the roses
Listen to a hurting soul
Hold a hand, speak a kindness
Help restore, a sinner whole.

When confronted by suffering
With reasons unclear
Will we choose to grow better
Or grow bitter, with fears.

So, we likewise must repent
Of rebelling, and sleeping
We should rather, seek God
Not self-serving, but reaping.
