Intervenes: 2 Peter: Prayers and Poetry

                Intervenes 

                Righteousness lived

                in the middle of

                lies and selfishness

                lawless beliefs attack.

                Rescue of heart and soul

                illuminated by truth

                love everlasting

                intervenes with protection

                leads a path to follow daily.

Psalm 89:41: "All who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a reproach to his neighbors."

Ruins: 2 Peter: Prayers and Poetry

2nd Peter 2:5-8: "And He did not spare the former world in the days of Noah when He sent a flood to destroy a depraved world (although He protected Noah, the preacher of righteousness, along with seven members of his family). And don't forget that He reduced to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, condemning them to ruin and destruction. God appointed them to be examples as to what is coming to the ungodly.

    Yet He rescued a righteous man, Lot, suffering the indignity of the unbridled lusts of the lawless. For righteousness Lot lived among them day by day, distressed in his righteous soul by the rebellious deeds he saw and heard."

Lord, too often we continue to forget to seek Your help and guidance when misuse of any kind appears. We need to look into Your words instead of letting attacks or cruelties become an answer. We also need You to keep us from being lured into even the smallest lure.

Please help us to keep Your words and Your truth as our armor and not accept any false lies that can lead us away from You into any destruction. To ourselves or to others.

When we are confused please give each of us insight. May we only hear Your words and act upon them as You lead.
