Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Stay Faithful To the Final Day - 1 Timothy 4: 1

In these days that we live in
the walk of faith is no picnic
attacks come from every side
makes one feel spiritually sick

there is a remedy to all this
seek God first and first alone
worship the Lord for His grace
knowing His presence in every bone

God's word declares stand strong
no matter the opposition you face
for God is always at your side
being personally upon your case

Trust God's hand to pull you through
be led by His Spirit to guide you
over every barrier, satan brings about
listen well to know what you do

Don't give a thought to any dreams
their teachings be sure to throw away
hold fast to God's faithful scriptures
stay faithful till the final day!

("Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, ")
1 Timothy 4: 1 (ESV)

Stephan McBride March 26, 2023 at 2:44 PM This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. Hebrews 8:10?-?11 NIV Indeed as always many seeking praise for themselves instead of God, great write my friend,spirit knows spirit Gordon Mcconnell March 27, 2023 at 2:10 AM Thanks Stephan, Glad you enjoyed this piece and pleased you thought it a great write.

Tom Cunningham March 26, 2023 at 12:44 PM You're right Gordon, there is evil everywhere always looking to convert the weak to their evil scheming and they're successful in their task with evidence of it everywhere we look. But we must remain strong to our beliefs. Our faith is tested often in this evil world we live in. Tom Gordon Mcconnell March 26, 2023 at 12:58 PM Thanks Tom, Glad you agree with my sentiments, trust this finds you well, I've been off-site for a few weeks with a bad cold and then on holiday to Fuerteventura which was great in the sun. Blessings, Gordon
