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?
In the Heat of the Hour!

Choose God’s Spirit, within us;
Come fill and guide me, each day;
Yes, always choose His will;
Don’t rebel, in old ways.
A Controlling Spirit

You find a deep need;
To have your own way;
So, the plans of all others;
Must follow your say.
All Must Choose!

Choose God’s Spirit, within us;
Come fill and guide me, each day;
Yes, always choose His will;
Don’t rebel, in old ways.
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.
A Bowl of Stew

For we’re losing our lives
Jesus requires self-denial
Take the way of His cross
‘Tis God’s path for survival.
