Plunder

 Here’s today’s poem. It’s called: 

Plunder

I sin, I need The Lord 

His mercy covers all 

Each morning I make mistakes 

Evil one ties and takes 

Still strong as I hear and heed His call 

Holy Spirit speaks, He protects and He frees 

His goal is always freedom for man 

He's been around forever, man curses Him will never 

See His face, He's fair because He can 

Without Him I'm afraid , I'm weak and at risk 

Like a lamb , lion looks to slaughter

Satan is a prowler, tries to trap as fowler 

Laid his evil trap for Eve and caught her 

I am no better, I am just like Eve 

Without His protection I'm a goner 

With him I'm strong, eternal, lasting long 

Free to follow Jesus, in His honor.

Genesis 3:2-5

2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” 4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Mark 3:22-29

22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”

23 So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. 27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house. 28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”
