Be a Finisher…Gideon’s Downfall

But then sadly, he succumbed
Asked for earrings, from his plunder
Israel gave him much gold
He made an ephod, an evil blunder.

The flames may have died
Fierce passions, ran dry
Many churches, dwindling
Are now asking why?

So dear saint, learn God’s lesson
Jesus tells us abide
In His vine, lest we’re pruned
Cast away, for our faith died.

How do you treat others
As a giver, or taker?
To unburden your load
Or to share, God’s favors?

So, surrender my rights
This day is not mine
Knowing all is from God
Not my will, but Thine.

For what are you grasping
And groping in life
Is it riches and comfort
Success, without strife?

So, renew and revive us
Restore us, we pray
Send the fire of Your Presence
Come down Lord, this day.

We’re just, jars of clay
Mere, earthen vessels
Yet we choose, how to fill
Be unique, and special.

But should we rebel
Turn from God’s Word
Disobey His commands
We surely are cursed.

You can end up as bitter
Even doubt God is there
…Or choose to trust Him
That God knows, and He cares.
