Victory From a Divine Quiver
Victory From A Divine Quiver
Its massive heart was now just solid bone,
the kind immune from it ever breaking.
All vestige of sweet love forever gone,
and all dear mercy completely forsaken!
Flesh had turned to gray hardened rock,
teeth into fangs made for flesh eating.
Awake now, in pain around the clock,
sought, more opponents to be defeating!
Warriors came with swords and shields,
all seeking victory in great battle.
Left were bloodied bones in the fields,
it savoring sounds of death's rattle!
Seeking an end to its painful torments,
roaming far and wide for a tougher foe.
Found an army sleeping in their tents,
and won a victory with only a cut toe!
Kingdom begged for warrior that could win,
priest came with only holy book to take.
Swore to stop this killing of braver men,
or else his sweet God he would forsake!
Searching, soon he found the beast sleeping,
shouting his words, a warning to deliver.
I will stop your setting widows to weeping,
with true arrows from this book's quiver!
Great beast rose up to there defeat him,
stone armor guarding its bone heart.
Before great savage beast could eat him,
divine arrows, shot forth like a dart.
First words, beast's armor began breaking,
cracks raced into its heart of bone.
Its weakness, God's word it was forsaking,
and the great truth that stands alone.
Priest next began, in deep faith praying,
for help defeating this beast there.
And God's merciful victory in the slaying,
garnered by divine faith and prayer.
As its armor had cracked and shattered,
beast fell down in its dying throes.
Its bone heart was torn and tattered,
evil eyes now dead and black as coals!

Note: I sat down today to write one more message
of faith and prayer.
As the world needs both now more than ever.
I once had dark monsters to slay. And found man
alone can never do such..
However, sincere Christian prayer works every time
it aligns with God's words and wishes.
