The Power That It Brings

Another reminder... for me.

 

Each morning as I rise

to start another day

The news reminds me of the signs

that God is surely on His way

The world cries “Peace”, but none is found

and evil stalks the land

But there’s safety in the Holy Ghost

for those who choose to stand

 

When I look into the mirror

I see one who’s known God’s touch

And no level of temptation

for today will be too much

The strength that He has given

is enough to see me through

The midnight hour indeed is nigh

but we’re anchored in the truth

 

So what trial can I not withstand?

What burden can I not bear?

What excuse will be acceptable

when I stand before Him there?

The image in the mirror replies,

“Why ask you me these things?

God’s filled you with His Holy Ghost,

and the power that it brings”!

As I look into the mirror

The Spirit God has given

And what of the news reminds you that God is on his way? For how long has evil stalked the land to the point of unbearable? The state of the world makes me wonder why we are still here. How far does His patience stretch? Somewhere there must be one righteous man standing. Will we truly have a clue as to when the end approaches?

You, D, have withstood more than your share of trials, and I marvel at the confident place wherein you stand ready to face our Lord. I do hope there is still time ....

This piece surely rattles cages of those who find complacence in the status quo. This brings to mind the "whacko" [so sorry!] on the corner proclaiming the end of the world ...

Regardless, the message here is also of a life heretofore unknown ... through eternity.

Beyond, D.
