Poetry: Discernment

• Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord,and in the power of his might. Ephesians 6:10

Lord,In this day of compromise,Help me discern wrong from right.Keep me open that I might learn,Issues and standards on which I must stand firm.Help me, Lord, know truth from lies, and then,Give me strength to stand forthright and strong.Amen.And this I pray, that your love may aboundyet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;That you may approve things that are excellent;that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ;Being filled with the fruits of righteousness,which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.Philippians 1:9-11By Carolyn R ScheidiesFrom Journey of FaithPrint and Kindle versions
