"HAVE YOU NOTICED?"
© 1998 Patricia L. Carpenter
"Have you noticed My servant?
Job - is his name!
He loves Me & he serves Me
& life isn't just a game!"
This is what God said to Satan
when he came to 'report',
"Well, no wonder you protect him!" *
was Satan's smartelic retort.
I wonder what we'd do
if our 'circumstances' changed,
If all was taken from us
what would be our exchange?
Would we remain 'faithful'
full of 'integrity'?
Regardless of the fact
we've lost our 'security'?
But, 'really' we have NOT
for we can be 'secure' in CHRIST, *
Why? you may ask
for He was our Sacrifice!
We can Trust Him forever
He'll help us through it all,
All we have to do ~
is on His Name to call!
'Continue' to be faithful
no matter what's happening today,
God will keep you 'steadfast'
'if' you'll walk His Way!
All of our 'possessions'
on this earth will pass away,
But, how we feel about GOD & CHRIST
~in our hearts~ is here to stay.
Do we 'love' & 'want' to worship
'Christ' or 'things' down here?
The 'test' of our odedience *
will prove 'how much', my dear!
So, do not cling to 'life' nor 'things'
but give ALL to Christ,
Worship, Love & Adore Him
& you'll have Eternal Life!
