Obedience is not
An occasional event
It should be
The driving force in our life
And believer’s too struggle
With this task
Often taking a turn
That’s not… right
Just like Paul…
What I “will to do”
Is NOT the thing
That I do
And more of what
I “will NOT to do”
Is the thing that
I allow to come true
Because the flesh is weak
Our sinful nature yields
To Satan
Letting him take control
Of our character
Our conduct
Our conversations and contemplations
Lord, this is really getting old!
Please bind
The “Accuser of the Brethren”
From my thoughts
Get this (GPS) out of my car
Because he collides with my mind
Especially when I drive
To any distance
Near or far
He’s
A Back Seat Driver
Taunting me
With directions
For the
Next hairpin turn
He thinks
I should take
And I know all too well
If I exit now
It will be yet another
Mistake
Because the roads Satan travels
Are treacherous
He’ll take you on a
Sinful decline
And you won’t have what it takes
When he won’t let you break
To stop his barrage
On your mind
So we must yield the right of way
To The Lord
Let Him ride in the
Passenger Seat
And we’ll be equipped
For every trip with
The Power of the
Holy Spirit’s fleet
Yes only Jesus can unplug
This controlling (GPS)
The “mayhem” that tries to
Steer me off course
So let me hear
The tires squeal
Jesus please
Take the wheel
Hit the breaks!
Recalculate…
Throw this (GPS)
Out of my car!
