Victory

Satan, get behind me
You are not going to get the victory
The Lord has blessings waiting in the wings
You are not going to block them from me

Every time I try, something gets in the way
But I know these obstacles are not here to stay
I’ll love the Lord Jesus always and forever
I might die, but curse Him never

So Satan, get behind me
You are not going to get the victory
God’s going to deliver
His mercy endureth forever
I know He loves and cares for me
And I’m going to get the victory.


Scripture reference:
Psalm 106:1 – Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever.

The Deadline

The deadline is here
Satan said
“You see I told you God was not going to come through “
So, am I mad at God
No.
Do I feel as He cares no more?
No.
Why am I so calm.

Because He’s given me a peace that surpasses all understanding
Things have not improved
I’ve lost every battle
But God is not dead
He said His mercy endure the forever

I still believe
One day He’ll deliver me
He’ll do it in His own way on His own time
He’s Alpha and Omega
And He doesn’t operate on a deadline.

Scripture Reference:
And the peace of God,which passé the all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

Who Can Answer The Why?

I followed good dietary and exercise regimen so why did I get sick?

I was a nice, sociable person, so why did I end up alone?

I taught good morals and values so why did they go astray?

I abided in the law, so why crime targeted me?

I was a good employee, why did my income flee?

Who can answer for life’s tragedies?

Not the most prolific preachers or learned theologians 

Have been able to answer the why

Some have suggested, why not you

But if we are honest, no one wants to have to ask why

No one wants pain in their lives

To certain sins, they can’t be tied

Because in forgiveness of sins God specializes (Isaiah 1:18)

While no one can answer the why, everyone can answer the what

In spite of the why, there is something we are all thankful for

When my mind wants to linger on the why

I try to switch it to focus on the what I still have 

1 Thessalonians 5:18 says In every situation give thanks 

Then there’s The Who

God is the only one who can answer the why, as He is omniscient (1 John 3:30)

But He may choose not to reveal it

And from the why, He may not deliver 

But He will give you a peace beyond understanding to deal with it (Philippians 4:7).
