Straying From God’s Fold

Suppressing Truth which you know, to justify another path to go,
Will not foster God’s Peace within, but only start a battle with sin.
For it is only the Truth of God, which illuminates the path we trod,
As we allow His Truth in our life, The Spirit helps us with all strife.
Uncertainty here is sure to come, but we have Truth in God’s Son,
Who shines His Light on our way, sustaining believers day to day.

Some raised up in The Word, are moved by other choices heard,
Uttered by men outside the fold; designed by the serpent of old.
Safe they are from God’s wrath, but, choose to walk a risky path,
Turning down to a slippery slope, where a life can slip from hope.
Looking beyond Christ’s fold to seek, another life, far from meek,
Parting the way they’ve been raised, onto one that man is praised.

A path following the ways of men, which by God are condemned,
Ways which are judged by Him, who died to separate us from sin.
They’re wooed by the flesh inside, that sin nature, that never died,
That needs to be left at the cross, so not to stumble with the lost.
Turning away from the will of God, only invites His chastening rod,
Taking you that full circle to see, God’s will is the only place to be.

We are told not to grieve the Spirit, by ignoring Truth as we hear it,
The Living Word, God’s given us, when in Christ we place our trust.
Looking for the life that isn’t there, shall only lead you into despair,
Searching for meaning in this life, above and beyond Jesus Christ,
Will only hinder and then grieve, The Holy Spirit of all, who believe,
For it’s only The Spirit, sent by Christ, that gives men abundant life.

He's coming very soon, the signs are very clear,
And when that trumpet sounds, we’ll be otta here!
Waiting in Him with Great Expectation,  Bob Gott
