Report Article
Wandering down the dusty trail,
he paused to duck, twist and flail.
Was that a bat he saw fly by
or just a shadow caught his eye?
He felt an evil gust of wind;
the solitude was not his friend.
What warning did he seem to hear
that quickened step and fed his fear?
The clouds grew dark and darker still;
the air enveloped with a chill.
A bolt of lightning shot through space
illuminating Satan’s face.
“You are cursed, weakened one;
times of joy now are done.
Call upon your chosen Lord;
see the power of my horde.”
A grisly grip around his neck
Tightened on this frightening trek.
His breathing sputtered with a gasp;
he vainly tried escape the clasp.
Out of nowhere did appear
a shining light dispelling fear.
“My son, I’m here to fight this fight,
Deliv’ring you from Satan’s blight.”
He felt invisible hands go slack;
he knew the Father had his back.
The presence, with a heav’nly glow,
God’s omnipotence now did show.
Chains from his heart did break in two;
amazing peace within now grew.
The Lord of hosts displayed His grace,
then disappeared without a trace.
The man never forgot that day
when God appeared to end the fray.
His life was changed on that dry road
by going forth with lighter load.
A thankful heart began as seed
producing love instead of greed.
And hope walked with him hand-in-hand
from that day ‘til the promised land.
