With due diligence,
we must stay alert
so that satan’s darts
we can safely avert.
For he is the master,
of many disguises
obscuring the truth
is his evil enterprise.
We must keep sober,
we must stay aware
so into satan’s traps
we won’t be snared.
For he is out to kill,
devour and destroy
anyone who doesn’t fall
for the lures he employs.
With due consideration,
we must be forever watchful
for satan distorts the light . . .
and we must remain careful!
~~~~~~
Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench
all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour:
And no marvel; for Satan himself
is transformed into an angel of light.

Deborah, as I was reading this poem, my mind flashed forward to Ephesians 6:10-17. You beat me to it!
