What Next?

Updated: Jan 23, 2021

Today I was awakened at 5:21 a.m. with the first two lines of this poem. So here goes...


What’s Next

As a nation we stand on the precipice of time
 
While many believers are grossly maligned.
 
The call not a small one as we stood in the gap.
 
Yet January 20th appeared as a "wrap."
 
Social Justice the mantra from pulpits at large
 
Forfeited full gospel and whose really in charge.
 
Needles poised now to cure a plague of destruction
 
Yet to kill the unborn not a bit of disruption.
 
Immigrants flood in to embrace a false hope
 
While those trafficked out are well out of scope.
 
Hollywood’s songs usher flairs in the air
 
While "one world" rings their hands and darkness prepares.
 
Monuments of lights deemed as great arms outstretched
 
While words of such harmony on many minds etched.
 
The internet our connection and platform of speech
 
Now a small few control what YOU will not breach.
 
Masks the new costume hide faces of deceit
 
What was just a few weeks is now months of repeat.
 
Riots at bay, little unrest, no alarm
 
The great act of Satan, believers disarmed.
 
Fists raised at God, gross sins are inducted
 
Dulled by the mantra, dark thrones are constructed.
 
The market is soaring dumbfounding us all
 
But will our hearts shatter from one drastic fall.
 
Now my choice today is on whom I will focus
 
Morning dew from His word that dispels all the ruckus.
 
Never is "better" the biblical trend
 
Nor should this system be what I befriend.
 
I’ve read all through history the majority track
 
But there’s always a remnant who refuse to be slack.
 
The battle is tricky such discernment required
 
The armor of God must be my attire.
 
Passion untamed might cut off ears of sinners
 
But the gospel unleashed invites to His dinner.
 
This space of grace narrows, a world winding down.
 
I pray many will willingly bow to His crown.
 
Yet in the meantime Satan's fury unleashed
 
Many, our loved ones, seem out of God's reach.
 
Each morning our mission to hear God's command
 
He’ll strategically place us where we are to stand.
 
The cost won’t be small as I daily rehearse
 
Human comforts and freedom will gradually burst.
 
Today a decision to dispel sadness with joy
 
And not be entrapped by the devils great ploy.
 
It is not the end but only the middle
 
So why should we care if we are belittled?
 
We’ve been called as His child from such a great curse
 
So let’s march steady and strong, be the church HE SAW FIRST!
