We Must Grow In Our Faith In God
In facing various challenges along life’s race
With every struggle marked by sinfulness and weakness’ trace…
We must grow in our faith* in God Who strengthens our spirituality upon salvation-brace
For us to stand on the winning side of His awesome grace.
In battling against many facets of unrighteousness
With every enticement of materialism and worldliness…
We must grow in our faith in God Who arms our sanctification-holiness
For us to do good works in His will’s truthfulness.
In conquering several stages of difficulties
With every suffering brought by atrocities and calamities…
We must grow in our faith in God Who heals our soul-infirmities
For us to trust His unfailing promises’ certainties.
In fleeing from different angles of temptations
With every offer of riches packed by lust and deceit’s intentions…
We must grow in our faith in God Who upholds our standard-convictions
For us to follow His instructions toward heavenly decisions.
In subduing pride of towering arrogance
With every ambition of personal and carnal extravagance…
We must grow in our faith in God Who corrects our human-ignorance
For us to stay humble under His great deliverance.
In passing through tough and rigorous trials
With every persecution-test and hurdle pronouncing betrayals…
We must grow in our faith in God Who proves our self-denials
For us to reach service-triumph’s peak thru His miracle-portrayals.
*Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love.
