NO Muddy Waters By Brenda Drake

            In the sinful world it is a hard to stay clean.  With God we are able to not only stay clean we are able to show others how too.  Because of Jesus work on the cross we are free from the foul hold of the world and the dangers of its sinful, murky waters.  Because of Jesus we are able to live and to drink daily of His goodness. 

No Muddy Waters

Muddy waters are a murky place to be;
It is no place to try to stay clean.
The world tries to pass some areas as best.
But they will never pass God’s stink test.
The rich and famous may gather all dressed up fine,
Very comfortable and seemingly having a great time,
But the waters are muddy filled with debris,
They are foul and displeasing to Christ the King.
Some make plans to take advantage of the time;
By wadding in the world’s murk and grime.
Foul jokes, lies, with lust and greed there;
Proud looks haughty; superior attitudes are with each other shared.
The muddy, murky waters are in other places too.
But God has given great ability to you.
With a life dedicated to God and a prepared place for Him to dwell,
You have a river flowing; living waters from a deeper well.
You are able to live in the world of mire,
With heart pure filled with humble desire.
Wrong attitudes and the traps of sin,
Are quickly repented so harmful waters are not taken in.
The world offers its worst and its best to tempt and steal souls.
But have no fear of the dark waters of the evil one when God is in control.

1 John 2:15-16
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

John 7:38
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
