Temptation

Date:

Be happy when you are tested,
In so many different ways;
It is to see if you invested,
Endurance that would block your strays.

Endure until your testing ends,
Then you are mature and complete;
Consider asking any friends,
Helping to resist and defeat.

If any of you need wisdom,
For knowing on what you should do;
Pray to God up in His Kingdom,
For guidance in helping you through.

God is generous to anyone,
That He does not find any fault;
And believes in Christ as His Son,
Willing to honor and exalt.

Whenever you request in prayer,
Do not ever have any doubts;
Never hesitate what you share,
Talk normally no need for shouts.

Humble believers should be proud,
Because humble gives confidence;
But being boastful not allowed,
Since boasting shows improvidence.

Blessed are those who will endure,
Anytime when temptation strikes;
If asked God will help you to cure,
Anything that desire likes.

God will give you the crown of life,
If you continue to love Him;
And will help you through any strife,
As He strengthen giving you vim.

God is not tempted by evil,
And will never tempt anyone;
Temptation comes from the devil,
When the lust ambush has begun.

Lust is trapped when it has conceived,
Causing you corruption and sin;
The snare of Satan has deceived,
As the enticement does begin.

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.
