This morning's 1-minute Bible Love Notes devotion focused on a topic that has filled a train of thought going round and round in my head recently!
Thank-you Gayle 'for drawing us closer to Jesus one minute at a time!'
I've listened to this message many times because it encourages us to be diligent and wise!
Dear Pretty Pleasure...
You steal, with bold appeal, attention’s appetite to fill
Where taste and look and listen are always eager to
thrill
Be careful, some enjoyments seemingly harmless at
first
Drop little seeds that grow into a fruit flagrantly
cursed
The root of evil oftentimes disguised by pleasure’s vim
Flaunts little lies to lure our eyes from attributes of
Him
And not until the sting of consequence startles our gaze
Do we become aware of Temptation’s ingenious ways
…of tearing down while we were busy being quite at ease
With the compliance to senses always eager to please
Where human nature does not care to pay a pretty price
For something that purchases nothing… but humble sacrifice
Popular opinion based only upon Opinion’s sum
Begets from dregs of blind belief a horrendous outcome
My dear, my precious, dearest child, pray God to draw
your eyes
To look into His word to ever keep you truly wise
Our God, a kind forgiver forgives the mistakes we make
He does not leave us helpless or hopeless; but for our
sakes
He gave His word, His perfect word that will not pass
away
But guards and guides us with pure truth toward the
Judgement Day
