Check It Out!

CHECK IT OUT!

Focus, focus, focus
Do not be confused
Give full attention
To only one voice
The Spirit of truth
God's Holy Word

Everyday we hear
Sound of influences
Family and friends
Leaders' statements
We ought to consider
Get wisdom in prayer

Before you jump into it
Think and evaluate first
Just check it out
Commune with the Spirit
Meditate what He said
Then follow His lead

Also ponder this
Don't be carried away
No matter how strong
How powerful the voice
Pay attention within
Inner peace should reign

No matter how hard
It may look impossible
Others may see you a fool
You may be laughed at
But don't focus on that
Fix your eyes on Jesus

Romans 6:8-19
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
