Poetry
If you truly desire to finish your course and be found faithful in that notable day.
There are guidelines set up by the Lord of Hosts that will aid you in the way.
The bible says wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day.
It is certain that evil days will come, and we are commanded to stand, life is not a game that we play.
We must gird up our loins with truth, and truth can only be found in God’s Holy Word.
God’s word therefore being truth must be our rule of life to follow as we serve our Lord.
We must put on the breastplate of righteousness, to cover some of our most vital parts.
This will help protect us as we face our adversary head on being a covering for our heart.
We have to protect our feet, for with them we make progress, shod them therefore with the preparation of the Gospel of peace.
If the devil sees he has but a short time, ours must be short also we must take heed therefore to God’s decrees.
The Lord says above all, taking the shield of faith, you can be sure without it that you will be stricken.
For it is with this shield that we can quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Another vital part is protected by taking the helmet of salvation to protect our head.
Head wounds are often fatal, so keep on your helmet while through this wilderness we are led.
With all this armor, the Lord has also given us a weapon, the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
We must keep our swords edge keen, by saturating ourselves in God’s word, and with his complete armor be shod.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
We will only be successful in this journey by making violence against our old nature and exercising all our God given graces.
