Desert Days …God is with You!

Just as Israel, in the wilderness;
As Jesus, in the desert;
Know our God, will supply;
For every need, He is present
We’re Still in the Desert!

For by faith, they could enter;
Doubting, denying kept them out;
For faith is pleasing to God;
What is your life, all about?
A Modern Pharisee or Disciple? (Rule-Keepers or Jesus Believers?)

Are using Scripture, not as a mirror;
But as a weapon, to beat others;
And so, break God’s commands;
For they fail, to love another.
A Controlling Spirit

You find a deep need;
To have your own way;
So, the plans of all others;
Must follow your say.
Don’t Succumb!

So listen not, to your feelings;
No dark thoughts, in your mind;
Set your heart, and call on Jesus;
Claim His Word, in prayer remind.
Out of Control?

Not by our own efforts
Our flesh, cannot conquer
We need Jesus’ power
Without Him, we falter.
Self-Control

And as a branch, in His vine
Jesus tells us, keep abiding
To bear fruit, of God’s Spirit
His ‘Self-control’, He is providing.
Walk in the Spirit or Flesh?

For if ignoring, or ignorant
Of God’s truth and reality
We’re poorly armed in the fight
Against temptation, so face calamity.
Lessons in Prayer

Yes learn, to first yield
‘Thy will, not mine’
Be dead, to ourself
‘LORD the glory, all Thine’.
