I wrote this during a battle that totally caught me off guard. I thought I was over this type of temptation. I thought wrong.
When something yells at me, to come off my path,
I think back, and then do the math.
There's so many times that I fell,
because I thought I chose heaven, but really it was hell.
Now when wisdom, calls out in the street,
she's the one, that I want to meet. (proverbs 1:20-23, Psalm 119:105)
My tempters words I admit do tickle,
but I have to remember, people are fickle.
God can be trusted, He stays the same, (Hebrews 13:8, Numbers 23:19-20)
His love is real, His love is not a game.
Will I believe the deception, that whispers in my ears? (2Timothy 4:3)
Or remember the pain, of so many years.
Do I really want another fate,
from the same apple that I ate? (Proverbs 26:11)
When I hated logic and loved to feel,
I found out, it wasn't a good deal.
Feelings are deceptive, logic is a fact,
so logic and I made a pact.
I know you are true, my consequences prove it,
when feelings come up, let's help each other remove it.
Feelings is an indicator, not a resolution,
I'm feeling something again logic, what's the solution?
Set aside what your feeling, check Gods word,
pick up your armor and put on your gird. (James 4:7-8, Ephesians 6:10-17)
Feelings are weak, wisdom makes you strong,
apply Gods word, and you'll never go wrong. (Proverbs 30:5, Hebrews 4:12)
1 Peter 5:8-10
[8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: [9] Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. [10] But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect (complete) , stablish, strengthen, settle you.
To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
