Courage
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.
Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed,
for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9
As falsehood in this world is on the rise,
and even into churches penetrates,
when wolves in sheepskin come in a disguise,
the lying spirit falsehood advocates.
Demonic doctrines find their way,
that promise riches, but from Christ distract,
from focusing on Him they lead astray,
and devastating they leave impact.
The wisdom of this world, alas, implies
that it is good to save our own skin,
but Christians are called to challenge lies,
exposing the wicked deeds of sin.
The others might mock us and disparage,
and threaten us, if we can stand unbent.
The Lord is with us, if we show courage
and to ignore all wrongs do not consent.
