Easy peasy lemon squeezey,
Who said life was easy.
You rolled the dice,
You did the dance,
You don’t live twice,
You took a chance.
He laughs,
It haunts.
Shiver and shake,
He’s got you now,
Nowhere to hide,
No time to bide,
It’s him or life.
It’s time to dance,
It’s a choice you chance,
Or a chance to be dead.
Dead in life,
Or dead in death,
You’re still dead in all.
Sometimes it feels as though life is a game and all you do is a roll a dice, and where it falls determines your next move. It can be suffocating at times, as though the devil sits on your shoulder and laughs. Just when you learn to trust and something happens to shake you, he’s there to laugh. When you give your heart to something or someone you believe in and something happens to stir some doubt, he’s there to laugh at you. You take a chance and fail, he’s there to laugh. It just seems as though no matter what you do, as long as things take a turn for the worst, the devil is there to laugh at you. Sometimes he’s there to offer a way out or something seemingly better. But take note; we are in a war! And only one side can come out victorious. It takes a measure of courage to stand up and fight and it take an even greater measure to stand apart and remain. Be encouraged. The One who has victory, the One who will reward you when this life is over; is the One for whom we fight.
“You said ‘it is futile to serve God. What did we gain by carrying out his requirements and going about like mourners before the LORD Almighty? But now we call the arrogant blessed. Certainly the evil doers prosper, and even those who challenge God escape.’’’
Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honoured his name. “They will be mine,” says the LORD Almighty, “in the day when I make up my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as in compassion a man spares his son who serves him. And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.” (Emphasis added, mine)
