Stand for God, do not yield Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Finding Joy In Our Trials

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

We daily crucify our flesh
As we abide, in Christ Jesus
Resolve to live, but by God’s Word
Assured God’s Spirit, is ever with us!

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.

For when tempted, God provides
A way out, an escape
That we’re able, to endure
So let us learn, avoid mistakes.

In Christ we are righteous
Through Him, overcome
By His Spirit, victorious
Our battles are won!

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.

Overwhelmed, on our own
We feel helpless, and lost
So set our mind, believe God’s Word
There is victory, through the cross.
