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.
God’s Waiting Room
So, let us learn from waiting
God’s timing is right
Ever trust God, persevere
And ask Him for light.
God Tries Us
For our faith, pleases God
As we trust Him and wait
Without grumbling, complaining
But giving thanks, for our fate.
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.
