Purpose in Pain

Does God have a purpose
In suffering and pain
Sorrow and sickness
Can He turn to gain?

Purified by Fire

As His sacrifice, living
Must be holy, and pure
For we dare not present
If defiled, and impure.

Overcoming Temptation

And so, love not the world
Nor selfishness, greed
Seek God’s glory alone
Let His Spirit, always lead.

Overcoming Adversity

Have you learnt to give thanks
Though adversities grow
Can you trust, the Lord God
When no answers show?

Lessons from Job

Will we worship God
No matter the cost
Always honor the LORD
Whatever the loss?

Lay All on the Altar

Offer all, at His altar
Our bodies, He purchased
As living sacrifices, holy
Well pleasing… our service.

Fearing God for Gain?

So, Satan asked God
“Does Job fear You, for nothing
Is His worship sincere
Or does he want something?”

Facing the Furnace

As Daniel, and friends
Faced a fierce, fiery furnace
Said “Our God, can deliver
And if not, we still serve Him”.

Facing Temptation

The world, thro’ its culture
The flesh, and our feelings
The devil’s deceptions
Temptations, so appealing.
