My God, Thank You For Keeping Me Inside Your Will

December 20 Scripture Meditations Based on Revelation 3 Key Verse – Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation… MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR KEEPING ME INSIDE YOUR WILL Thank You for keeping me inside Your will’s great government From self-sufficiency’s confinement Toward dependence on Your transforming involvement For my faith’s strengthened empowerment! Thank You for keeping me inside Your will’s good guidance From self-righteousness’ arrogance Toward reliance in Your perfecting performance For my character’s vibrant radiance! Thank You for keeping me inside Your will’s gracious generosity From self-willfulness’ futility Toward claim of Your satisfying bounty For my needs’ fulfilled security! Thank You for keeping me inside Your will’s girded gearing From self-esteem’s proud rearing Toward submission to Your caring nurturing For my spirit’s revived stirring! Thank You for keeping me inside Your will’s glad goal From self-destruction’s pitiful hole Toward surrender to Your upholding pole For my personality’s cheered-up soul! Thank You for keeping me inside Your will’s gentle guardianship From self-study’s humanistic leadership Toward compliance to Your molding partnership For my stewardship’s favoured worship! Thank You for keeping me inside Your will’s grand gloriousness From self-denial's shallow earnestness Toward obedience to Your instruction-purposiveness For my servanthood’s heavenly reward's blissfulness!
