Grow better not bitter 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.

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.

“The LORD gave, the LORD has taken
Blessed be the name, of the LORD”
“The LORD gave, the LORD has taken
Blessed be the name, of the LORD”

And so, no matter our lot
Walk by faith, and not sight
Cling to God’s Word, His grace
Midst our darkness, His light.

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

God uses all ways
To turn up the heat
To soften our hearts
Our hardness, defeat.

When we’re failing and falling
And we’re hitting, rock bottom
We can stand, on Christ Jesus
Our sure Rock, and still blossom.

Be ever ready for His coming
Though we know not the hour
But be His faithful, wise steward
Await His blessings, to shower.
