Me:
Your ways are far above our ways we can’t even know
The many plans and mysteries You liberally bestow
We’re dependent on Your Spirit to guide us in Your will
When we follow carefully, our destiny we’ll fulfill

Lord:
Come aside and listen to My still small voice
If you fully knew My thoughts, you’d always then rejoice
You please Me when you walk in faith knowing not My plan
You need to finish well the race you initially began

Don’t let circumstances hinder your confidence in Me
You need to learn to persevere against adversity
There are some who will shrink back, in the battles’ throe
For those who want eternal life, where else can you go?

Don’t cast aside your confidence for an earthly treasure
When you can have eternal joy forever without measure
Those who put their trust in Me will follow till the end
Receiving then the promise for which they did contend

Hebrews 10:32-39 – “Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering. 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. 34 You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. 35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. 37 For, ‘In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.’
38 And, ‘But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back.’  39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.”

Jude 3–4 – “Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people. 4 For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.”
