Notes About The Poem

The Word of God, the Bible is our instruction manuel.  We are 
to govern our life after it, learn from its mistakes and learn from
it triumphs!  Thank the Lord for His Word which will never pass
away!!!

Doubting the Word

Doubting The Word

To doubt what the Word of God says
is the most foolish thing that we as humans can do
and to listen to the devil’s voice
will only to his amusement make a fool out of you.

The nickname Doubting Thomas 
stuck to that disciple just like some powerful tube of glue
and if you are not careful of your thoughts
it can do the same work on you.

Wouldn’t we rather than be known 
as the one our Lord can trust 
leaning on Him and His Heavenly Word
it surely and definitely is a must.

Taking the Word as written 
and then choosing to make a courageous stand 
always pushing the enemy back
and reclaiming from him all of our stuff and our lost land.

Time is so short, my brethren
there is no time to waste
doubting His promises robs us of our strength
and causes us to stumble and to fall right on our face.

For we know that the word says
anything that is not faith is sin
and His precious Spirit is always aware of 
our heart’s voice and whatever is within.

So, next time that ole’ devil of doubt
comes calling and banging at your door
knock him down with the Word of God
and give him what is due him and ever so much more.

Then when he sees now 
that you and I are going to take a strong stand
he’ll pack up his bags and move to a 
more weaker and passive land.
