Focusing

November 27, 2015 by Richard Newton Sherrer Leave a Comment

Falling into the hands of God,
Can be a terrifying thing;
When you do not honor and laud,
Since it may cause His wrath to bring.

Please always remember the past,
When you first have learned of the truth;
For the pain and hardship did last,
Made you arrogant and uncouth.

You endured much hardship and pain,
Being publicly insulted;
Mistreating made you go insane,
The Lord you never exalted.

Your focus was not on the Lord,
Consort with those treated this way;
But God was completely ignored,
As Satan had led you astray.

You had suffered with prisoners,
Never cheerful of the pleasures;
Even walked on by foreigners,
And stealing all of your treasures.

But do not lose your confidence,
It will bring you a great reward;
And with God is your best defense,
So make amends unto the Lord.

For you must have the endurance,
So that after all has been done;
Listen to God for assurance,
When you are praying through the Son.

What He promised you can receive,
As long as you have made Him pleased;
And showing Him you do believe,
God will cure where you are diseased.

The one who is coming comes soon,
If you live by faith God does approve;
When you hear the horn play its tune,
Christ wipes iniquities to remove.

About Richard Newton Sherrer

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.

How Priscilla Shirer Surrenders All October 11, 2024
