Victory Over Discouragement


1 Corinthians 15:57

Thanks be to God who gives us the victory,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord triumphantly;
Satan gathered his devils to plan an attack,
Undermine a believer whose power did lack;
One devil said that the attack be with lust,
All the others merely laughed in disgust;
Then another said, "You don't know well,
I know his faith against lust can repel;
In fact, his power is strongly protected,
From any intrusion that is being detected;"
Still, then other devils started protesting,
With shielded faith, no use with infesting;
Then one said, "Maybe cause him errors,
Send him a bunch of bad news bearers;
Then that will make him quite discouraged,
What a great tool for getting him damaged;"
Discouragement is a very effective weapon,
Against God's people by the force of Satan;
Don't let the adversities get you so upset,
To cause you to do something you'll regret.
