Vincent Flannery Poet Rhyme

The Devil Is In the Details

You have to know he is near, you have to know he is around
Perhaps sensing it in your fear or a feeling of being bound
You never know what he will do or what other things he'll try
But he's out to destroy you because he wants your soul to die

Again and again he'll attack seeking the easiest point of entry
Knowing all you lack helps in the defeating of one that's free
You walk around unprotected and don't even seem to care
The King of Kings you neglected and of this, he is aware

You he just wants to finish while you wander aimlessly astray
So the attacks diminish in just letting you have your say
Things go pretty well, theres no need to call for God's Hand
Soon you can't even tell what you can't even begin to understand

The one who seeks to destroy you is finally on your side
And on you he sort of grew in along with your pride
Yet you should know he is so near and quietly sneaking around
But you don't have any fear, for you haven't  heard a sound

 1 Peter 5:8 
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour

Brandy Nicole October 11, 2019 at 11:01 PM (The Bible is a Spiritual Book) In 1 Peter 5:8. I suppose many think the Devil is a literal Lion, seeking whom he may devour. His "Influence" is what attracts us. SIN. He places everything within our reach, that we shouldn't take. It is up to each individual, to flee from Sin. This is very uplifting and inspiring. Congratulations Vincent, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy Vincent Flannery October 15, 2019 at 10:16 AM So true Brandy! Thank you so much God bless.
