Читать книгу It Is Time To Go Deeper - Ernest Forbes - Страница 10

We are travelling down a road that can get rather busy, clustered with misery and strife,

Problems come from left, right and centre, and we ask ourselves, ‘Is this a Christian life?’

We reach a crossroads, but not wanting to take the road that leads to sin and destruction,

We pray to the Lord, asking for the right direction.

But the deceiving voice of the devil always tries to lead us astray,

As our faith is tried and tested day by day.

But our God is in control!

Our income burns holes in our pockets as prices soar high,

And sometimes we are really scraping, just to get by.

Money for this, money for that, what is it all about?

What is there for free? Money is something you cannot do without.

We sometimes worry even before the bill arrives,

And we tend to allow finances to rule our lives,

Because paying out seems to have no end,

But the good news is, there is one on whom we can depend.

For our God is in control!

Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe and never doubt for a minute,

That you have already received it, and that you will get it.

Do not fret or worry, whatever the circumstance or problem,

Prayer is the answer and if we would only trust God, he will solve them,

For sometimes we have needs that need to be met, which is part of our daily living,

But let your requests be made known unto God by prayer, supplication and with thanksgiving.

He’s never too busy to hear our cry,

When we call on Him, He’ll draw nigh,

Sometimes we have to wait, sometimes He answers straight away,

But remember He is God and He answers in His own way,

Because He is in control!

We are now living in a very fast and changing society,

Technology advances with man’s knowledge and ability.

Computers seem to be taking over in these last days,

They are programmed to operate in so many different ways.

In our schools, in our work places, or just used for personal satisfaction,

Where at the push of a button, they go into action.

But our God is in control!

The world at times tries to get on top of us,

People give us a hard time, irritate and fuss,

We know it’s only the devil moving to attack,

But we shouldn’t give up without fighting back.

Deception, lack, and problems are things the devil uses to throw us off our path,

He sets a trap in the hope that we’ll fall in, and sits back to laugh.

But we can claim victory in the name of Jesus, for there is hope for our soul,

So there is no need to worry, for our God is in control!
