Strength Midst Adversity

Adversity* builds character's tenacity... revealing persevering virtuous integrity smiting attacking afflictions' infirmity with blows of self-pity midst lurking false humility in the guise of arrogant sincerity… while yielding to, trusting and exalting God Almighty* upon faith's strength intensifying spiritual certainty against skepticism, apathy and doubt's obscurity by the Sovereign power's infallibility marked with compassionate authority.
*Proverbs 24:10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. December 5, 2018 Verse in monorhyme Edited on March 21, 2020 Honorable Mention, "STRAND CHOICE M,any form,any theme" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand; judged on 3/21/2020.
