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.

Facing Hardships

He uses all, for our good
Perfecting within
As He purges the dross
All that selfishness, sin.

Embrace Trials

Yes, embrace every trial
Each test of your faith
Be transformed, to His likeness
Trust God, to recreate.

Duped by Distractions?

Are you caught up with ‘life’
Desires of the flesh
Deceived by the devil
Let this world enmesh?

Count it All Joy

And so count it all joy
Tho’ He prunes, ’tis worthwhile
Bear more fruit, of God’s Spirit
Do give thanks, for each trial.

Bitter or Better?

Not to wallow in self
But instead, be God’s letter
A testimony of grace
Grow not bitter, but better.

Being Tested in the Dark

May we learn, to thank God
Worship Him, despite all
Fierce adversity, or blessings
Before God, humbly fall.

At Which Fire Do You Stand?

And what of yourself
At which fire do you stand
That kindled by God
Or the work of man’s hand?
