Chance Happenings

It matters not the direction When tempting winds may blow, But be cognizant of this one fact It's the devil that makes it so. He'll tempt us with logical persuasion And in abysmal thought we'll fret. But worry will not solve one problem Or take from us, our regret. For each time we've been so enticed Satan did so in his own due season. And while we fail to see or understand God has allowed these for a reason. Written for a special friend, Shirlene

a wonderful poem Tom so powerful, just like the story of Job, sometimes we need to be tested to grow in faith we know where it comes from but God gives us his authority to tell satan to sling his hook, it works as well if we believe and trust God the enemy can not lay a finger upon us, things can go go wrong and temtations may come but God gives us his strength to say NO, congratulations on your poem being featured, greaat work, God bless you from diane
