When God puts us to the test.
We can all keep our cool,
Using our Bible as our tool.
We can stay in the Word
Putting on the armor of God
Being ready to use the sword
To follow our Dear Lord.
Jim Thomas
This poem reflects Jim’s© from his study in I Samuel 22…
David was deceiving the enemy. This cost the lives of 85 Priests and many more, yet God was protecting David. Still He cares for His own to carry out His Plan. People will lie and cheat to promote their own agenda. Like pretending to be insane, though not an utterance. David was given the sword of Goliath the Philistine before he fled from King Saul to hide in a cave to save his life.
"Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in You my soul takes refuge!
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.
I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills His purpose for me.
He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me;
God sends His love and His faithfulness." Psalm 57: 1-3
“ My own writings”
We once had a statue of a knight in shining armor. Someone saw it in a photo and asked if it was for sale? We started to chuckle. You see, it was made out of plaster and painted to look like the real thing. Do we sometime pretend we are someone other than who God created us to be?
"Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,
With the breastplate of righteousness in place,
And with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith,
With which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,
Which is the word of God."
Ephesians 6:14-17
In looking back over my life, I wonder how many times God has saved me from taking the wrong ath? I am so thankful to be a child of the King! O' how much He protects me in whatever circumstance I find myself!
