From 1 Peter 1:3-4: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.”
Evil’s darkness surrounds
Encroaching with its sin
Life looks to turn around
Wolf hiding in sheepskin
Fraud’s light leads some astray
Moving away from God
Grace opens its doorway
Christ shatters hell’s facade
Resurrection’s new hope
Building faith’s foundation
Salvation, Christ’s tow rope
Father’s promised station
Word speaks of Lord’s power
Calling all to stand firm
Each and every hour
Holy Spirit confirms
Faith anchored in His care
Wearing God’s armored vest
All times, kneeling in prayer
Mercy braves each test
From Ephesians 6:13: “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on the evil day and, having prevailed against everything, to stand firm.”

Amen
