Be Strong In the Almighty

Be strong in the Almighty Father against pride’s demand Stay conscious in forsaking haughtiness and its selfishness-brand Let God hide you with His meekness’ hand Since He’s already humbled you along salvation’s stand. Be strong* in the Almighty Creator against worldliness Stay committed in giving up destructive earthly business Let God grip you with His virtue’s holiness Since He’s already imputed unto you separation’s righteousness. Be strong in the Almighty Lord against disobedience-emergence Stay converted in turning from rebelliousness-insurgence Let God move you with His might’s resurgence Since He’s already empowered you toward submission’s diligence.
*Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. July 25, 2019
