Jesus didn’t say to go out in fear,
or to fret throughout the day
He didn’t say to sit and worry
or to follow the anxious way.
He didn’t say to lay our treasures,
in what this world has to offer
He didn’t say to hide our riches
or save them in a hidden coffer.
He didn’t say He wouldn’t be there,
or that we would be all alone
He didn’t say He didn’t care
or that we’d be left on our own.
He didn’t say to be lustful,
or to be like those greedy
He didn’t say we would not be
at times poor and needy.
But, Satan loves to twist and turn,
Jesus’ words all around . . .
and so onto the Gospel truth
we must always hold our ground!
~~~~~~~
When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his own:
for he is a liar,
and the father of it.
Sanctify them through
thy truth: thy word is truth.
