OUR PERSISTENT GOD
(Another of the poems written=while I was on vacation)
As CHRISTIANS=we have
A two-fold job=
NOT TO GIVE UP=and
To be an EXAMPLE
For other people
Our God is a PERSISTENT GOD
He will get
OUR ATTENTION=one way
Or another=he will NOT
Let us give up
He will SUSTAIN US
No matter what comes
“I tell you=if he does not
GET UP
To give the visitor
The loaves=because of their friendship
He will GET UP
To give him
Whatever he needs
Because of HIS PERSISTENCE” Luke
11:8
OUR PERSISTENT GOD!
Jesus TAUGHT US
To be persistent
In our prayer
To ask God
For what we WANT
And to keep on asking
But MORE than that
Our God=is persistent WITH US
He keeps pushing us
In a certain DIRECTION
Until he
Gets us to act
IN a certain way
“Therefore since we
Are surrounded
By such a great cloud
Of witnesses=let us throw off everything
That hinders us
And the sin
That so easily=entangles us
And let us run
WITH PERSEVERANCE=the race
Marked out for us”
Hebrews 12:1
“…….because you know
That the testing=of your faith
PRODUCES PERSEVERANCE” James
1:3
God might USE certain things
To push us
In a more DIRECT PATH
He will PERSIST
To get our attention
And one way=or another
He will=whether we want him to
Or not=OUR TOTALLY PERSISTENT GOD
Will get it
“For this very reason
Make every effort
To add to your faith=goodness=
And to goodness-knowledge
And to knowledge-self-control
And to self-control=PERSEVERANCE”
2 Peter 1:6
Dear Loving God=help us
To be ready for you
WHEN you need us
OUR FOREVER PERSISTENT GOD
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our always loving and
PERSISTENTLY CALLING=Holy Father God
