a Challenge for the Devil – v2

May we be like Job,
a challenge for the Devil,
May we be a test for Satan,
because we are faithful to God.
 
May we be like Job,
upright and worthy,
righteous in the sight of God,
ever humble in our walk.
 
May we be like Job,
in our trials, our testing,
May we turn to God, forever,
May we be a blessing.

rooted in Christ

rooted in You

within the vine

held in Your arms

my Savior, my God

rooted in Christ

within His body

those who believe

not of the world

rooted in the Word

God’s love written

the story of Christ

in Holy Scripture

rooted in Christ

my life overflowing

words of love pouring

from the Spirit’s heart

God is watching

God is watching

our walk, our journey

all of His people

upon the earth

God is watching

the choices we make

faithful to God

or denying, running

desires of the flesh

that which consumes us

or choosing to follow

yoked with Christ

cleaving to God

to His gift, His mercy

God is watching

each step we take

the Devil is watching

in the story of Job

the truth in this day

the Devil is watching

for a more opportune time

to dangle temptation

some desire of the flesh

to try to ensnare us

to separate us from God

the Devil is watching

though we may deny him

Satan is waiting

for a more opportune time

stay vigilant, ready

cleave to our Master

God will protect us

our Shepherd, our King

Satan will not win

Satan will not win

He has already lost

Christ won the victory

on the rugged cross

the challenge to Job

under the law

different now that Christ came

and rose from the grave

the victory complete

the gathering yet to come

stand firm, resolute

trust in the Lord
