Sin & Security is a poem I wrote years ago when I was in college, for a video production project. It's amazing that I still have it! The poem touches on Sin and the everyday struggle to lead a life that honors God in a fallen world. Yet, by the grace of God, overcoming every obstacle, pain and suffering by seeking God's face. Asking Him for help and crying out to Him. Know that He hears us and will answer our prayers.

"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." ( Revelation 12:11 ) 2. "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." ( 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 ) 3. "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." ( Proverbs 3:5-6 ) 4. "When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy." ( Psalm 94:19 ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Her Desired Haven Podcast!

They saw the works of the Lord, his wonderful deeds in the deep. For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves. They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths; in their peril their courage melted away. They reeled and staggered like drunkards; they were at their wits’ end. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea[ a ] were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind. Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders." ( Psalm 107:23-32 ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Her Desired Haven Podcast!
