John Leong Poet Rhyme

Philippians Two Twelve

"...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,"
meaning, you're alone physically, find a way out;
do all you can humanly, it's all the same thing
yet the Lord is with you, never without.

When faced with such terrible dilemmas
quickly turn to the Lord, for He hears thee;
though the problem faced are all fracas'
I made it through, oh! truly believe me.

Alone, and yet with God by thy side
face must you, all the hungry tides;
there'll be a time, when you're all alone
still prayers said, much like on a phone.

So weary thou may be, faced with abuse
carry on, do not fail or misconstrue;
till the End, when God takes His throne
safe we will be, never alone.

Remember these words that fill the wise
like fish on a grill, with a side of fries;
alone and yet, never alone
the Lord with thee, thine prayers to hone.

Philippians 2:12 (in excerpt) states:
"...work out your own salvation with
fear and trembling."

Amen!

Alfred Berggren July 31, 2017 at 2:53 PM es, that's truly a challenge. Thanks for the assurance God is with us in the battle. John Leong August 2, 2017 at 5:48 AM thanks! Alfred; to God be glory! yes sometimes i feel overwhelmed, but just turn to God and pray. still this journey is fraught with potholes and choosing the best reaction sometimes means "turning the other cheek", and practising patience. cheers!

John Leong July 31, 2017 at 12:15 PM there'll be a time, when you have to face tribulations all by yourself; that's not a bad thing, if you can stomach it. but alone and yet not alone, for God is always with you; this is indeed a mystery! He is always with us, in our trials, doth the Father not love us? yes! so, dear friends, walk the path and waver not; for He loves us!
