Shout Poetic Bloomings

 The Unseen Enemy

 

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12

 

We often feel jabs and stabs

from people all around us.

We act in ways they don’t like,

and they are set to pound us.

Or they take it to the streets

and ever after hound us.

If we don’t watch, bitterness

will have securely bound us.

We must look to the One who

has gone out, searched and found us,

freed us from oceans of hate

that had distinctly drowned us.

He loosens the strangling cords

by which Satan has wound us.

God helps us love and forgive

to clarify and ground us.

When we focus on His grace,

He truly will astound us.
