I’ve been inspired a few times to write a poem showing the fighting race of the Christian walk. This poem didn’t really fulfill that inspiration completely but it does give a bit of an idea of our struggle.<\/p>\n
By Chris M. Sissons<\/p>\n
It’s not an easy thing to be
a traveller on the side that’s free
and run our race in this dark world.<\/p>\n
So many snares and traps about,
they are designed to take us out
of the straight way to other paths.<\/p>\n
The foes we war against are three:
the devil, the world, the flesh they be.
Our old nature still speaks loudly.<\/p>\n
It seems we push against the flow;
those on the dark side try to tow
us with them down the road they take.<\/p>\n
And yes, so often we do fall
by listening to temptation’s call
to do, or say, or think what’s wrong.<\/p>\n
How can we win against such force?
On our own we’d loose of course.
But our leader is One Who won.<\/p>\n
Our Saviour walked this earth below.
He faced the trials through which we go,
Though He never yielded to sin.<\/p>\n
The God Who laid the course we tread
will be with us as He has said,
and lead us to the finish line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
