Encouragement

Satan sucker-punched me today,
And caused me to stumble along my way.
He caught me by great surprise;
At a time when I shifted my eyes
From God; His purpose and His will,
And at that moment, my joy Satan did steal;
But, all is not lost
Because I learned a valuable lesson at a small cost.
Although he won that battle, He won't win the war
Because I will remember the cause of that very scar
Left on my spirit and on my heart;
And it will help me never to part
From what God has for me to do,
And to hold steadfast and true
To the calling God has on my life
Regardless of the pain and strife
I must suffer to accomplish God's goal
For eternal joy and peace for my soul.
So, if Satan should surprisingly attack you
Or what you're trying to do
With your enemies, even family and friends,
Be assured that this isn't where the war ends;
But, it's a way of God letting you know
To keep your eyes on Him in whatever you do and where ever you go.
Don't allow yourself to sulk in self-pity and sorrow,
But realize there's hope for a better tomorrow.
Get up and let Satan know that the fight is on,
And with his little efforts, your faith has grown
Giving you the strength and desire to press your way
Regardless of the price you must pay.
Yes, Satan, the fight is on to save my home,
And within it's four consecrated walls, you shall no longer roam.
It's on to save my husband and my children too,
And to gain the victory in all that I do.
The fight is on to save my finances
And to eliminate the chances
Of you taking what God has give to me
Or denying me of being who and what God has called me to be.
It's on all on my job,
And you shall no longer rob
My spirit to steal my joy and peace of mind;
No longer will I waste God's valuable time
On your efforts to take my eyes off of the prize
With gossip, backbiting, backstabbing and lies.
It's on to reach God's goal,
Which is to save my very soul
From eternal pain, suffering and strife
And to gain eternal life.
Yes, Satan, the fight is on;
For, by the power of God, I command you to get back and leave me alone.
