A Time for Every Season
There’s a time for every season, Sorrowing when death gives its’
call, A reality of living that Eventually come to all.
But, unless one dies to themselves, It’s a life never lived; A
life with selfishness, A heart that never learned to give.
The things we held on to, We thought we couldn’t live without;
Were the very lies Satan fed us, To keep us trapped in death’s
cloud.
For when we die to the flesh And live by the MASTER’S rule, We
find we never lost anything, But Satan; vicious and cruel.
The path to peace and victory is God’s will; God’s way, every
time. Because, God is for you, knowing your need better than you
know yourself and only He knows which path will meet it and
defeat Satan.
The reasons we serve God graduate the more we come to know Him;
for our safety and benefit, it’s exciting to see what God wants
to do next, His plan is better than ours, because we love Him,
for who He is. With each step of obedience, we discover life
more abundantly and a God who loves beyond measure.
As God ministers to the soul; He replaces Satan’s lies with
truth, heals, sets us free, teaches about who He is (a process
of restoring our innermost self to its’ original creation,
separate from evil.) In so doing, God gives light to the
darkness within, gradually indwelling us … as, once we know the
truth, we choose Him.
Devotedly, we, then, begin to serve God (having experienced His
perfection) for what He’s already done for us, for who He is,
out of love alone. He is worthy to be praised.
By the time we’ve reached this far in our own spiritual
journey, knowing the depths of Satan, we know beyond a shadow of
a doubt that God’s instruction is the path to life.
If our desires don’t match God’s will, we’re not in our right
mind.
