Roots ... accusation. Part 3


Isaiah 54:17               New English Translation

17 No weapon forged to be used against you will succeed;

you will refute everyone who tries to accuse you.

This is what the Lord will do for his servants—

I will vindicate them,” says the Lord.

 

Roots: Part 3         Accusation                

 

In the scope called: Accusation

How does one discern?

How does one know the difference?

When a voice calls to remind you

Is it God who is speaking or Satan just misleading

On a guilty disposition that is inherently mine

 

Jesus said: My sheep really know my voice

When He calls we should automatically come a running

But when I broke the rules and did something wrong

I am not in such a hurry for He knows my roots and cunning

 

The first thing that I do is think of all excuses

Then I try to reason that it was not all that bad

And before you know I start to think; ”abusive”

If I deny the wrong I did, it surely makes Jesus sad
