Yet To Be #126

The battle is the Lord’s

Prayer Warrior: All In

All in or nothing.
Half-hearted speeches laced with jaundice eyes are nothing more than lies.
Words spoke with a forked tongue end the battle before the fighting begins.
There is no honor in the bitterness of deception.
A pledge taken is more than talk; the bond accepted takes courage to fulfill.
The die is cast when a request is promised without hope to commit.
There is no luck, no chance in the face of faith.
Neither can evil fall at a wishful whim.
He is in control.
The rules of war are His.
His touch revives and strengthens.
His eyes guide and sustain.
This battle of life is won.
The battle is the Lord’s.

God frowns on these characteristics for God is love

“In the same day, also will  I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit?”  Zephaniah 1 verse 9 KJV

The implication of talebearers is present; these are people who stir up trouble. It reminds us that the “tongue is a fire, and no man can tame it”. Deceit which means dishonesty, deception and pretense causes divisions and separation. These characteristics should not present themselves in the house of God, among the people of God or in our daily lives.  God frowns on these characteristics, for God is love.  (Vicissitudes of Life, 2007)
