To Whom Should I Be Grateful

Is karma, fate, or even healthy food the secret to my longevity? I'm totally, or partly convinced of these enough to obsess me; I owe myself for the care I take of myself, to whom should I be grateful... if not to the Eternal God who has seen in me no greed, envy, or bluff! I can rest assured that no harm will come to me, giving concrete credence to His existence and dispute the illusory credibility that others impose on me; my integrity remains intact, I don't turn into a brute! I'm driven by faith the way a chariot is driven by horses that won't halt unless an imminent danger looms ahead; the angelic realm is very real: I was spared numerous times, I felt angels' arms pick me up safely and my body was shielded! To whom should I be grateful, if not to the Eternal God who has been my armor and shield, when menacing mouths shouted threats and obscenities; and tried to inflict pain and sling spears... ah, they failed because I had the same strategy as Saul!

I can’t believe this exquisite offering has no comments until now my friend. I have been away for some time so I missed this poem. A wondrous example of faith beautifully worded. Blessings xxoo

Hi, Connie. I thank you for your comment, it's the only one I have received. I hope you are well and enjoyed your vacation, or get-away. All is well with me and I have appreciated your comment. I hope to see an end to this pandemic, but it seems it's going to be a part of our living for now. Have a Happy Thursday and be safe.
