Fear God, not man Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Facing Fires of Adversity

Be not weighed down, in life’s struggles;
Our enemy, deceives, destroys;
Resolve each step, to keep believing;
Be not robbed, of Jesus’ joy.

For life’s not feelings, nor comfort
Rather, sacrificing self
Trust and obey, like Jesus
Serve daily God, and not myself.

Be not ashamed, of the Gospel;
‘Tis the power of God;
To salvation for everyone;
Who believes, responds.

Recalling Jesus, despised, rejected
Calls us, come follow Him
He knows well, all our sorrows
He gives us grace, comforts within.

So depending, not on others
Their affirmation and praise
And no matter our lot
Be a God-Vector, always.

Yes, do count it all joy
In the midst of your trials
God is working, to produce
Active endurance, as He disciples.

And yet our hope is not in weapons
The arm of flesh, will fail
Pray Israel trust in the LORD
Know her Messiah, wholly prevail.

But in place of God’s lordship
Satan swiftly deceived
Appealed to their senses
Denied truths, God revealed.

Stay far from temptations
Not seeking our pleasure
Instead, cleaving closer
To Christ, our true treasure.

And there, no more pain
Soon glory, and splendor
God’s presence and peace
His kingdom, forever.
