DEFENDING FAITH

The call to persevere,
Ringing through the blind wall of cold hard facts.
Denial no longer nicknamed liar,
Resistant fire sparkling through hairline cracks.

This wasn't a choice one could choose,
Callings were ready-made and set.
No point in letting him run loose,
Where souls were his well laid bets.

Thwarting his plans could hardly be labeled smart,
But righteous it would be,
Servitude to God makes the cut,
Where Satan's bonds are broken free.

And discouragement cuts the line,
Between God's love and his Nemesis's influence.
Because that is where love either binds or unwinds,
And only a fool takes the fall from such spiritual affluence.

For living within a savior's love,
Is where words flow abound,
Where duty is beyond, above
And destiny found.

With The Great Commission to fulfill,
Promises to be kept,
Wounds to heal,
Lives to save and protect,
First and foremost, faith needs to be kept intact.
