“Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones!” ― Zephaniah 2:3


Enduring Faith

The Road To Life

This wayward world calls out to me;
 The willful join in its decree.
A constant peal of bells resounds,
 Inviting man to impious grounds.
A woman rides a fearsome beast;
 Her thirst for red has not decreased.
Unknown to most, her end is near;
 She'll soon be stunned with horrid fear.
The wider road is full of strife;
 The narrow road will lead to life.
The pleasures of this world abound,
 But I despise its prurient ground.
I turn my back on pleading cries,
 Rejecting myths and endless lies.
I aim to reach the finish line
 And see a world of God's design.

Behind the Verse

The relentless appeal to the pleasures of the flesh can be overwhelming. A Christian who does not protect his spirituality risks being swept away by his desires and succumbing to the temptations of an “easy life” within a system that is ultimately destined for elimination.


Ephesians 4:14; Matthew 7:13, 14, 20, 21; 2 Timothy 3:1-5, 13; 4:3, 4; James 1:14, 15; 4:4
