6| My strength and grace

30 8 11
                                    

I will glorify the lord Jehovah,
For he is faithful
His presence is most felt in my moments of trials and tribulations.

In recent time,
The enemy has been attacking my mind
Trying to ruin my growing faith,
Trying to sow the seeds of doubt in my juvenile mind,
Trying to cause me to depart,
From the destiny Jehovah has called me to enter
But in God's faithfulness,
He never leaves me to face the devil alone
He equips me with his word, his hymns and strength.

Once, in my moment of weakness,
I became arrogant and grumbled
Then the enemy sent a demon to harass me in my sleep
But God, in his everlasting might and splendour
Woke my dozing spirit back up
Refueled my desire and ambition for greatness,
And humbled me.

My new found humility makes me realise,
I am nothing without God's strength
For if I rely on my own might,
Moments of weakness will prevail
But when I rely fully on God,
Surely he never fails
My strength and grace,
Never fails.

—Israel Olorunnisola

Quick Note
I wrote this with all humility in acknowledgement to my creator. Some times as humans we tend to assume can be gods of our own lives that we forget or even dismiss the tiniest possibility of a higher power that has all the might to save us from dire mental and physical situations.
