Winning the Game For God

Amidst AGGRAVATION of sin-game schemes, I appeal to the Almighty… Beseeching His pardon for my transgression-caused BOGGLE Cleaving to His compassion with mercy’s CATCH PHRASE Declaring earnestly “I’m SORRY; please forgive me” Enabled with repentance, not religious TABOO, to confess humbly. Free to pray thru Jesus Christ, never by any CODE NAMES Gladly I fellowship with Him, purged from guilt’s TROUBLE Hoisted toward praise-driven heights beyond PHASE 10… I LIKEWISE delight communing with Him thru His Word Jubilantly HEARING THINGS of His truth in joyous worship. King of my heart, He can SPOT IT it among iniquities and doubts Lord of my life, He leads me against vain TRIVIAL PURSUIT Maneuvering me by His omniscient holy MONOPOLY Nurturing my spirit with His serenity, midst din of MAD GAB Opening to me opportunities for love-filled service OPERATION. Propelled to ask from my Provider thru faith’s PASSWORD Quoting Scriptures of assurance-SEQUENCE, I tell Him my needs Reaching out to me, He rescues me from discontentment’s RISK Satisfying me with blessings’ SPOONS that SPEAK OUT abundance Testifying of rich grace for my TRIP TO RIDE to eternal sufficiency. Unwavering omnipotence my Saviour radiates in PERFECTION Victory, too, vanquishing Devil’s MOUSE TRAP of attractive CLUE Worthy is His wisdom waking my weary CRANIUM to work well X-raying my spirituality against iniquity SCRABBLE thru the Holy Ghost Yielded to Christ I know and trust vis-à-vis varied GUESS WHO masters... Zealously, I’ll run the race*, winning for God's glory over worldly bouts of 5 SECOND RULE.
*Hebrews 12:1-2 “…Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.” February 19, 2019 1st place, "Anyone Game?"
