A Place for Grace

Our world is changing.
Indeed, not for the better.
An evil agenda of lies
Tightens spiritual fetters.

Eviction of God’s presence -
The goal of Satan’s plan.
Dimming the Spirit’s light.
Shrinking the Promised Land.

Consequences of the exodus
Includes something displaced.
Take away God’s goodness,
And with it departs His grace.

Something must fill the void.
It’s judgment entering the scene
Along with condemnation.
Attitudes stiffen into extreme.

No room for accommodation.
Love becomes tally marks.
It’s one side versus the other -
Unbinding hardening hearts.

So, can this agenda be broken?
What truth can be unfurled?
Try He who is in you is greater
Than he who is in the world.

This was proven at the cross -
Though it appeared a defeat. 
When Jesus was resurrected,
Truth triumphed over deceit

Love was also resurrected
By the power of God’s grace.
The Word of God testifies to
Strength in belief and faith.

So, if we repent and confess,
Jesus is God’s only Son.
We’ll find Satan was defeated
At the cross and grace won.

Evaporating grace will return
With the water of God’s Word.
The two go hand-in-hand.
Of that truth you can be sure.
