The Battle, by Tara Obriecht
In a battle
Most can’t even see
Idols blind us, sell your morals
Just saying you believe won’t set you free
The armor is all around us
But we act too busy to wear
Desensitization destroys us
Slowly we no longer care
Foundations are cracked
Needing to fit in this world wins
Scripture gets twisted
Christians don’t even understand what’s a sin
Knowing your enemy is important
Read the Word seek and you shall find
Putting ourselves before our Lord and others
Makes us all so blind
Lives ruined by unrealistic expectations
Fed to us by media, movies and TV
We pick our own path
And decide my god is Me
So busy with so many material things
Yet empty we stay
There is a battle
Many lose each and every day
Take a moment and realize
There is much more here
Let go of your selfish ways
Open your mind and He’ll make it so beautifully clear.
Truth Seeking 
Amen… Luke 9:23 “And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. 24″For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.…”
It is so easy to get caught up in this busy, materialistic world and lose our focus… great poem, God bless you guys, Scott
