Fighter’s Will

Bloodied, yet unbowed

Facing another trial

With relentless pursuit

Victory’s quiet exile

 

Stubborn in spirit

Challenging expected norms

Overwhelmed emotions

Victory’s breath waits to form

 

Positive outlook

Rising from valley below

Fighter’s will surfaces

Victory’s cherished chateau

 

Darkness encroaches

Scaling mountain’s lofty peak

Game’s outcome in dire straits

Victory’s voice waits to speak

 

Lightning’s final strike

Framing improbable run

Overtime’s goal completes

Victory’s cheers, say we won

This poem was inspired from watching a recent high school lacrosse post-season match.  Overcoming the odds, the victorious team fought back to win in overtime.  My granddaughter played an inspiring match, and her steal and goal sealed a sudden victory.

Stop and think.  We’ve no clue as to what will happen one minute from now . . . But our invisible God in His providence, is continually, constantly, and confidently at work.

From Revelation 17:14:  “They will wage war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with Him are called and chosen and faithful.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

War should never be entered upon until every agency of peace has failed; peace is preferable to war in almost every contingency.

In the time of darkest defeat, victory may be nearest.

William McKinley (1843-1901) was the 25th President of the United States.

God’s people under attack

Roaring lion on the prowl

Looking for prey to devour

Evil presence brings a scowl

 

Days becoming the darkest

Running away from the Lord

But, hope waits like eagles’ wings

Holy Spirit comes aboard

 

Remaining strong with our Lord

Under His mighty power

Wearing protective armor

God’s Word will carry the hour

 

Our Father’s righteousness speaks

Spirit with us on this day

Withstanding what evil brings

Defeating darkness His way

 

Time to witness hope-filled faith

Praying daily for action

Quench evil’s flaming arrows

Calling for man’s retraction

 

Behind His truth, standing firm

Urging others to repent

Proclaiming Gospel of peace

Our Holy God will relent

Observing man’s life without light

Sending grace from heaven to earth

Darkness to be vanquished outright

Harboring Spirit finds its berth

 

Witnessing Savior’s final task

Hanging from deadly, Roman tree

Filled with anguish, mercy unmasks

Taking man’s place, evil now flees

 

Sharing destiny’s greatest love

Bending God’s will upon one Son

Redemption designed from above

Breathing His last, mission now done

 

Seeing heaven’s eternal light

Descending upon empty tomb

Victory over sin takes flight

Overcoming enemy’s doom

From Romans 5:8-9:  “But God proves His love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.  Much more surely, therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, will we be saved through Him from the wrath of God.”

Saturday’s biggest game arrives

Will football’s underdog survive?

 

Top-ranked team looking much too strong

Winless team plays losing theme song

 

Jack-rabbit offense can’t wait long

Slow-moving turtle plods along

 

 Favored team feeling discomfort

Score remains too close for comfort

 

Game’s undecided final score

Which team will nail victory’s door?

 

Gridiron classic’s final big play

Winning touchdown fulfills doomsday

 

Upset scoring with eager hands

Sending shockwaves across this land

 

Giant’s beanstalk crashes to earth

New winning streak’s star bursting birth

 

Hearts back-filling with dark despair

Champion no longer game’s bear

 

Number “One” ranking bites the dust

Closing winning drive comes up bust

 

Long live football’s newest kingpin

Ending score etched on game’s pigskin

Conquering darkness

Empty tomb declares

Risen Savior lives

Grace pours out, God cares

 

Mourning no longer

Calvary’s cross bends

Righteous Savior lives

Love pays dividends

 

Looking to heavens

Evil crawls away

Faithful Savior lives

God’s Word, final say

 

Walking in His light

God’s design sustains

Steadfast Savior lives

Never changing lanes

 

Singing hymns of praise

God’s glory beyond

Blessed Savior lives

Mercy’s lasting bond
