Confronting Soul Betrayal

Confronting betrayal midst guilt admission my soul accepts God’s instruction* never redefining it based on my notion... I'm warned of such wrong commotion that can lead to my destruction--- Such gives my spirit peaceful jubilation! Battling against conscience when holiness does shine my soul succumbs to God’s design stopping to pursue after my selfish dream sign... I should consider that I can't resign from the tasks to me He did assign--- Such propels my faith toward victory-ensign! Facing consequence of disobedience when I'm incorrect my soul is resolved not to neglect God’s project and not to insist on my own prospect... I take heed that I don't reject His best for me in every aspect--- Such enables my servanthood of grand respect! Overcoming carnal nature of slothfulness as His steward my soul complies to God’s standard while yielded to His strength for trust to soar upward... I acknowledge pride’s pull downward so I pray for His powerful safeguard--- Such shields my heart from arrogance-hazard! Confessing total need for the Saviour for revival vigor my soul worships God along His splendid honor offering reaching-out deeds out from His loving savor... I turn against worldly, fleshly ardor to pursue after heavenly, eternal fervor--- Such frees my will against meaningless endeavor! *Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
