Written during the time of the Covid Crisis of 2020

In this crazy world of ours,
With emotions flying high,
With fear mongers at their worst
Blowing everything sky high,

Can we trust in what they say?
Do their words to us make sense?
Is it logical to say
That a few is an event?

An agenda, do they have?
Is it clear to you right now
That the purpose of it all –
To the beast that we should bow?

So discerning we must be.
Not buy into everything.
The deceiver has his tricks,
For us to serve him as king.

God gave to us all our minds,
And we need to put to use
In discerning all the lies,
And in seeing the abuse.

They want us to be afraid.
So to capture us, they will,
If we all don’t use our brains,
And we swallow every pill.

So, turn off the television,
And the media, alike,
And spend time now with your Lord
Asking Him what’s up with life.

Pray He gives you much discernment,
And the knowledge of His will,
Not to buy now every story
That comes to us from The Hill.

For, the book of Revelation
Foretold this now long ago,
That a beast would rise and take us
Where we do not want to go.

So, we must, we must resist him,
Not buy into all his lies,
So he does not overtake us
And we get a huge surprise.

We must follow Jesus, Savior,
Where’er He leads us to go,
And the Word of God He’s given,
We must truly, truly know.

For there is a great deceiver
Who is up to all his tricks,
And he wants to capture Christians
With his lies, so no one flicks.

So, take time to sit and listen
To the Lord and what He says
About all our circumstances
And then rest in Him, instead.

Let the Word of God fill up you
With His promises, for sure,
And the peace of God o’ertake you,
So don’t bite the “worry lure.”
