Make No Mistake







*


Listen, Christian, rise up, awake;


listen full well, make no mistake.


Arch, lying spirits are opaque. 


Know your rival – that shady snake.


 


Label yourself by Christ’s own name


Light and Truth with joy you proclaim.


Satan can blind you, bring you shame,


try to convince you  God’s to blame.


 


Satan has made what’s dark look bright,


wrong appear right and black seem white.


Refining flames you must ignite;


don’t let the devil block your light.


 


You have taken God’s name in vain?


Are you a “Christian” for your gain?


Do you waffle, debate, complain?


Temptation can smear your campaign.


 


Strength from the Lord will guard your soul.


Make truth and peace your first patrol.


Judge not, read His Word, get control -


Christ’s righteousness, your only goal.


 


Pray often, pray in the Spirit;


speak boldly and use God’s toolkit


brand that snake as the real culprit


Reflect God’s grace, glow with it. 


*


Ephesians 6: 10-20

About the Poet
Growing older with some pains and discomfort, graying hair, glasses, partial plate and hearing aids but with complete assurance of my eternal domain. Saved by choice by Gods free grace by Jesus life, death and resurrection. Born and bred in the Bluegrass State for 24 years, I crossed the Ohio River and became a Hoosier forever thereafter until that time God calls me to my heavenly home. Christian for fifty-five plus years. Church musician and SS teacher for most all of my Wednesdays and Sundays. Public school teacher for thirty-six school terms; retired with a class now of three grandchildren off and on during the week. Wife for half my life to the same superman. Mama to two unique sons. Mother-in-law to a fine daughter; Nana to one darling girl and two handsome guys. God has blessed me abundantly; thank you, Father. God quiets my hackles; God quickens my heart; God quells my hunger. Blessed be His holy name.
