If we strive
To serve the Lord,
As long as all we do
Is say we try
To serve the Lord,
Because he makes us think
That no one really
Can obey the Lord,
And therefore,
He causes us to think
The deeds we do,
Don't matter.James 2:14-26
This is why
The subtle Tempter,
Tries so hard to imitate,
The Holy Spirit's
Inner whisper.James 1:131 John 4:1
It's so he can make us think
That he's the Holy One
Who's sent to lead us,John 14:26John 16:12-14
And then mislead us,
Into being focused
On ourselves.
This is also how he sought
To overcome the Savior.
And how he tried to cause
Our Lord to waver,
In His quest
To save man.
For when the Son of God
Had fasted,
For forty nights,
And forty days,Matthew 4:1-2
And Satan thought
He finally had a chance,
To ply his wicked ways.
Then posing as an angel
Sent from God to aid Him,2 Corinthians 11:14
He sought
By very subtle means,
To persuade Him,
Into thinking
We must feed
Our own needs first,
If we ever hope
To have the strength,
To feed the needs of others.Matthew 4:3
Jesus,
Strongly disagreed.
And when He pointed out
Our duty from the Scriptures,Matthew 4:4
He was also helping us
To see the bigger picture.
