The 141st Celebration of God’s Work

Somewhere between “God Give Us Christian Homes”

And “Holy, Holy, Holy”

The devil and his minions entered the small rural worship

What had been a small gathering of Godly saints

Evil ransacked with yelling, bitter tears, and division

In the interlude, there was a “Golden Anniversary”

It was perfect follow up to God Give us Christian Homes

The Golden Couple bubbled with joy sharing their wisdom

The small congregation honored them with song and smiles

Sunday School was the conversion of Saul

The church motto, “Showing What God Can Do” echoed

Men discussed issues and had prayer oblivious of Evil

Innocence and ignorance reared it two-faced head

Special celebration of the Golden couple was a secret

Evil used the occasion to fuel the sin of jealousy

Calm turned to storm, love turn to scorn, and disunity

Tears of celebration became tears of hurt and shame

The flames of hell lapped and an evil coldness engulfed

The men exited their prayer into frozen animosity

The pastor entered the Holy warfare with partial armor

As he waited and prayed, he sang Holy, Holy, Holy

It’s words and theology rang out as still God reigns

Satan disrupted using the sins of the congregation

Repentance is the key and forgiveness is powerful

God is Merciful and Mighty

Forgive us God for allowing evil to use us
