231206 My Faith Walk
My Faith Walk
Why is it this faith walk of mine
Won't ever follow a straight line?
For steady progress, tend to lack
It's one step forward, two steps back
Seems every time I look around
I have to cover the same ground
Shortcomings, vices left behind
Keep reappearing all the time
You'd think hard lessons I'd have learned
Yet, find same teachings at next turn
And so must learn them once again
That on God's word, I can depend
I know a walk of faith's life-long
By now, shouldn't my faith be strong?
Yet, oft times I behave quite meek
And trust feels fragile, timid, weak
The storms arrive; the strong wind blows
So, two steps backward, my faith goes
Forgetting all the times before
That God sustained me and much more
Yet, other times I am at ease
Storms strong gusts feel like gentle breeze
Certain that I am in God's hands
In spite of circumstance - faith stands
Seems I can walk with confidence
When eyes on Christ aren't just a glance
But rather is a steady gaze
Then, faithful walk's the trail I blaze
Lord, help me not see bumps ahead
But, just your faithfulness instead
To feel your love, grace, and mercy
Are walking alongside of me
To trust I never walk alone
That you, God are still on the throne
So, when my walk of faith is through
It will have led me straight to you
2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths
2 Corinthians 4:18
Hebrews 12:2
