Backsliding Poems | Examples

Idiots of The Nation

Standing on the springboard of idiocity, spitting out lies  shamelessly. Idiots of the nation in the corridors of power.

Preaching shadows of democracy but catalysts of  democratic backsliding committing heinous crimes  in the broad daylight. The idiots of the nation in the corridors of power.

Their Satanic hypocrisy is the product of their arrogance and mental stupidity. Their big ego blinds them from ultimate reality.

Pretending to be superior while standing on the shoulders of the masses, the idiots of the nation in the corridors of power. 

Novel entities of society lack moral values, being drunk with power. lot of the mumbo jumbo from their mouth .

Turning politics into business of lies and manipulation, the idiots of the nation in the corridors of power.

Robbing the poor and destroying their nations, mischief-makers on the world stage. thinking with their bottom and not the top !

Climbing the ladder of success dubiously and ruthlessly, committing organised crime day and night against their nations. 

Idiots of the nation standing on the springboard of idiocity!

Premium Member PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HIS DELIVERANCE

August 11 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Jeremiah 1-3

Key Verse – Jeremiah 1:19 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.

PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HIS DELIVERANCE	

Praise be to God for His deliverance: 
Directing us to His will
Defending us from war-wreckage
Disentangling us against worldliness
Diverting us toward His work so worthy
Dealing with us by His Word in our weakness

Jeremiah 2:21 Praise be to the Lord for planting us
as noble vine and right seed:
Brightened though His salvation-righteousness 
Blossoming with His shining restoration
Blessed along His sanctification-revival
Blissful by His Scripture-regeneration 
Blooming in His steadfast rays  

Jeremiah 3:14 Praise be to the Saviour 
for turning us to Him from backsliding to:
Stay in His peace and truth
Seek His pardon so triumphant
Settle in His power with our trust
Set our posture upon His proven testimony 
Show our security in His providence midst trials.  Amen!

Premium Member Absolution


Once upon a time, in a land of heart
There came a thundering desire,
Even though God has set this one apart,
Chosen them for service, love’s magnifier!

When this heart realized their backsliding,
They opened the bible, turning to the Son,
Melted beneath the hand who was providing,
Peace and love, grace that can’t be outdone!

Once upon a time, in the land of fear,
There came a sweet aroma, assuring me,
Even when I don’t feel Him, He is near,
Promising He will save to the highest degree!

When this heart was backsliding, without hope,
There came love that filled them to overflowing,
Full of the spirit only He can provide to cope,
Because there is sweetness in love, softly glowing!

Once upon a time, this heart was failed and fallen,
But when they looked to God, there was a solution,
Since that day, reaching out to Him – all in,
And even through the doubts, He offers absolution!

The Great Lord Artist

A day spent arguing, defending, fighting
A day ending now, with words too, delighting
My wife that my back pain, and backsliding
Will not lead to suicidal thinking

As my window opens to a street at evening
To shock my senses as to God's painting
I see the addicts walking too, from above
I had imagined heaven, Jesus, eyes of love

How humans, even addicts, glow as light
But brought back to earth by 200 egrets
The commuters flutter like confetti at twilight
Some perch on thorn bushes, most to nests

I walked around the house, watered some plants
Looked to Sky for His hand painting exotic lands
Crimson, mauve, magenta, or simply lofty clouds
Lord, you paint at dawn & dusk! I miss much with my plans


Note: in progress. I must save every few lines, or risk
kosing my work yet again. Daily I lose comments
Or poems on thus site or because of my cellphone

Note 2, 23 March: I edited down toniambic pentameter. 
Update messed up. Message to me: "resubmission form"

Premium Member Beckoned Toward Hope's Beam

Beholding bountiful compassion-blessings of God* beyond bankruptcy…
Brothers and sisters, let’s be braced-up, becoming better
bouncing against bitterness borne by crises’ bondage
breaking free from backsliding midst burdens  
built-up now: healed heart, soul and body
bowing to the Saviour Lord, blissful
beckoned toward hope’s beam.

Bestowed with bread and butter from the Creator’s barns …
Beloved, let’s share, battling against selfishness’ bouts
Blowing away boastfulness in stewardship business
beautified along faith-blooms of love’s benefits
buttressed upon biblical belief
besieged by divine boldness
bringing service best.

*2Samuel 22:47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.

A Beautiful World

No more worries and anxiety. No more pain, no more sin and disasters, no more darkness and sadness. No more battles and wars. No more racism or prejudice. No more injustice and strife. No more hatred and backsliding. No more chasing false dreams. No more false idles and money hungry schemes. No more jealousy or envy. No more murderers and rapist. Just a peaceful and joyful and positive shinning light in a beautiful world their lives the trinity, God the father, Jesus the son and the Holy Spirit. To seek this beautiful world all you need is to confess, Romans 10:9 God Bless!

           My Dad wrote this beautiful poem.

Dont Give Up

Don’t give up for your life is still here, if their is a spark of light, your ways will be clear. Don’t give up because Jesus is God, he never left you nor will he ever fall. Don’t give up because love is in your heart, if it’s still beating, you still have a fresh start. Don’t give up when things makes a drastic turn, don’t give in to satan’s burn. Don’t give up because hope still abounds, when life gives you lemons, your lemonade will be found. I backslide from the truth of the lord but when I prayed and asked for forgiveness my voice was gracefully heard. Keep on fighting for a new day and when you come face to face with Jesus he will welcome you into his kingdom because you had a little faith. God Bless everyone and I pray for everybody who is backsliding and for all people. Hope is where your heart is! Jesus loves you! God Bless!

For Grieving Families It's Much Too Late

I grew up believing America is so great
Only to learn that its people live in a divided state
So many innocent loved ones dying at an alarming rate
Why won't congress put assault weapons on their plate
For grieving families, it's much too late
Why must the American people have to wait
For lawmakers to get it straight

Special interest money opening the flood gate
Politicians playing with the innocent's fate
Backsliding always allowed to skate
The American people need to dictate
Our solution that wipes Washingtons slate
On how we govern our states

To ban assault weapons that only devastate
So we can decelerate and no longer tolerate
All of these shooters twisted hate
By letting our lawmakers know we will terminate
Sending our message we won't allow them to negotiate
This epidemic sending our loved ones to heavens gate.

Premium Member Seeking Counsel

Seek the Almighty’s counsel* toward faith-upholding
Obey His orders --- against backsliding.

Study the Bible; meditate statutes’ principles
Listen to it preached for virtuous character-transformation ripples.

Yield to God’s will of perfect design
Lose not your vision unto truths’ righteousness-sign.

Thank the Lord unceasingly for His grace
Renew vows, fulfilling them with worshipful praise.

Acknowledge the Creator in your ministry’s activity
Glorify Him in His magnificent holiness-beauty.

Help others, sharing Christ’s compassion --- so boundless
Lead the lost to His purpose, combat unbelief of the faithless.

Depart not from Scriptures’ teaching; learn by biblical discipleship
Pray, enjoying His partnership and fellowship.

Keep thanking the Saviour for redemption-bliss
Offer thanksgiving to Him unceasingly; such pursuit --- never miss.

*Proverbs 21:30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.

Premium Member Have the Strength of God

Have God’s strength* to win over corruption
As His sanctified, combating filthiness
Washed by Christ’s blood of redemption-completeness
Cleansed toward purification’s perfection.
 
Have God’s might to avoid backsliding-perversion
As His stewardship, serving with prayer’s steadfastness
Governed with His wisdom, anchored upon truthfulness
Trained toward discipleship’s effective function.

*Psalm 18:2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Thankful Lessening


Dear Lord,
I thank you this day
for the things that I don’t have

Ain’t got no troubled mind:
Some of those creditors circling,
wanting a pound of debt flesh
for the bills that ain’t yet got paid
Presently, 
it’s gonna have to be late fee 
sent that way
Long as the heat and lights stay 
switched on,
for the children’s sake

Surely, I’m thankful Lord 
for this one other thing:
That I don’t have no backsliding desire
for tempted robbery

I’m thankful to be at peace,
content to have the necessary things
that my family need
So thankful that I don't have 
no worries

Dear Lord, 
I’m truly thankful
that I don’t have the wanton things
which destroy souls
so prosperously

Premium Member The Lord Directs Me

Toward heavenly standard the Lord directs me wisely
From worldliness that may hamper or stop biblical regard…
He guards my Christian testimony from backsliding downward
So I can receive His commendation and promised reward fully!

Toward virtuous ways the Lord ushers me with His goodness
From choices that may darken or obscure prayer-rays…
He leads my heart’s devotion to worshipful praise
So I can finish His set race with patience and peacefulness! 

Toward eternal light the Lord goes with me in my faithful stewardship
From goals that may deter or confuse truthfulness’ fight…
He beautifies my glowing maturity with wisdom’s insight
So I can please Him and enjoy His fellowship!

*1Thessalonians 3:11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way...

Footsteps

The son follows in his father's footsteps, 
Imitating the elder's way of life; 
For he earnestly wants to make himself 
Far away from trouble, chaos, and strife. 

The conduct of his beloved father 
Is in accordance with the righteousness; 
Such simple but complete submission 
To God brings him victory and success. 

His father's thought, word, and deed 
Are a pattern worthy to emulate; 
The mind and the heart are both focused 
On really reaching the new heaven's gate. 

The son's divine desire before God 
Is to complete the race set by the Lord; 
As he treads on the right path of journey, 
Backsliding is one thing he can't afford. 

He renders his holy worship service 
The way that the Almighty God accepts; 
It is taught to him by his father, 
So he decides to choose the fine footsteps.

Drift

She can't lie over that time behind mean,
From the bottom of life not planned to be lived, 
It was someone else that she see,
But not in the state to grief,
In a sharp turn,things changed suddenly, 
It felt as if everything was a bereave,
Tried all to get everything rightly,

She knew she was backsliding,
She knew she was not of herself,
Yeah,maybe you would be a talkative to that, 
Deep within her ears,voices were directing her steps, 
Not suitable to be at the bank of a deadly river, 
The appearance of the river stole her instinct with a mutual urge of a diva, 

Frustratingly,series of pain were developed in her neck, 
No one knew where she fell as a victimized bird, 
Even though one man concernedly said to her, 
"Everyone is now giving a complain about you, 
And I suggest you come back to your formal self",
All that he said was accepted to be a fallacy, 
The problem was just a result of she being spiritually unstudious of late,

It wasn't easy for her to be repositioned, 
Yet,she had everything needed to pass life examination, 
Later realisation held her to revive by surprise, 
And now,not even a child can deny the fact that she's alright.
