The Internal Battle

There is an internal battle we fight,

 day in and day out.

One the outside world,

 knows nothing about.

Our flesh and our spirit,

clash each day.

Inside there is a war being fought,

for who shall guide our way.

Our flesh awakens,

with a want to sin.

Then it goes on to tell us,

how to begin.

"Just trust me,

I won't lead you astray!"

 ”Everything you want,

you should have today!"

Fortunately our spirit,

stands ready to defend.

As it reminds us of consequence's,

and how this will end.

Our flesh will counter with,

“how bad can that really be?

Everyone else does it,

just listen to me!”

Then our spirit reminds us,

“think before we leap.

For as we sow,

we will surely reap."

Then our flesh will admit,

“well it might be a little bad. ”

"But while we're doing it,

we'll be glad!"

Then our spirit reminds us,

our eternal bill has been paid.

“There is no reason to start again,

with more mistakes made.”

Flesh always wants,

any apple that seems free.

While our spirit tries to warns us,

"there’s a snake in that tree!."

Weapon of Worship

When the Israelites worshiped,

The Lord their GOD.

Under their feet,

their enemies were trod.

Their praises before battle,

went up unto the Lord.

Then all their enemies,

would fall by the sword.

To worship before battle,

may seem odd too do.

But without GOD on your side,

the battles up to you.

This weapon of worship,

seems lost today.

For man never bows,

and rarely does he pray.

But for those who invoke,

their worship to GOD.

Their victories through Him,

never seem odd.

So remember when the camp of the enemy,

tries to be heard.

The battle is the Lord's,

He gave His Word.

I Samuel 17:47
