Each new day, as her beloved father also before her studiously displayed
Sabrina rose before daybreak
sat in her windowseat with bible on iPhone plus coffee or tea
to study, meditate, pray about previous reasons for thanksgiving, supplication, plus praise.
Grateful for an opportunity for ardent reverie.
For conditions worldwide today spiral wickedly fast without humans being able to even grab hold, grasp the significance of
let alone
to hinder or control.
How could anyone persist without strenuous preparation of their mind, body and soul
armoring up spiritually like great warriors of old?
Her read this morning geared her up for on campus to be bold when called upon to defend her beliefs
as others promote theirs
outwardly living it lustfully wholesouled.
Just like it was a dangerous time to be a Christian in Rome back in 64 C.E.
since blamed for setting fire to the city
and accused of hating mankind
Christ’s followers were objects of intense hostility.
Around the world now
heating up or hot
hatred for religion true or false
in the same stew boiled
shamed
not
since accounted
an increase in terrorism
delt
innocent bystanders
carrying on in daily affairs
then globally
the tragedies
we horribly share.
Felt:
Remove devotion to anything
except country or state
then will end violence rapidly
no more death casualties
due to hate
although,
what is war
if not righteous
by God Almighty
in the fast approaching future
justly ordered
to remove the wicked
and blantant wickedness?
Restore 'peace and security'.
A world without borders.
Especially when enacted for love of oil, other resources like diamonds, gold
for greed
while children go hungry then die,
while parents mourn and cry
while they too whither malnourished literally, as well as spiritually
lacking motive, energy or desire to even try
when heavens overhead thunder
leaving them in the open
without an obvious rock to crawl in safety
under.
Only youthful ones healthy
tend to rise up to decry travesties against weak majorities condemned to lives empty of necessities supplied.
Is this the only method on which to rely?
If you were a Christian back then in 64 C.E.,
you would daily face a sure possibility
of arrest, torture to abject misery.
Some of your spiritual brothers or sisters
torn to pieces by animals or nailed to a stake
burned alive to serve as nighttime illumination an example to make.
Is this also to be our fate
as the U.N. regularly convenes to eliminate religious meetings, literature internationally
as freedoms are confined to only what higher authorities dictate?
Rest assure,
Jah, through the hands of Christ Jesus
will rescue his faithful sheep
after they put into the hearts of kings
to render judgement against Babylon the Great,
a false religious harlot
her due recompense
for treacherous lies
cloaking the truth about God
proclaimed necessary to humanity
dispense:
"And the ten horns that you saw and the wild beast, these will hate the prostitute
and will make her devastated and naked,
and they will eat up her flesh
and completely burn her with fire.
For God put it into their hearts to carry out his thought,
yes, to carry out their one thought
by giving their kingdom to the wild beast,
until the words of God will have been accomplished.
And the woman whom you saw means the great city that has a kingdom over the kings of the earth.”" Revelation 27:16-18.
The 'woman' caused love of our generous Creator to become warped
bent
the spines of supposed servants to a created sun
instead of his elevated Son
ransomed
so as an obedient mankind
might be saved. A victory won
for God's Universal Sovereignty
soon to this earth renewed
come.
This thought consumed the mind of Sabrina--
A vast work to do.
Her desire
to follow the admonition long ago inspired
with an urgency pursued:
"Keep your senses, be watchful!
Your adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone.
But take your stand against him, firm in the faith,
knowing that the same kind of sufferings are being experienced
by the entire association of your brothers in the world." 1 Pet. 5:8, 9
So her daily routine strictly performed:
"Put on the complete suit of armor from God" adorned "so that you may be able to stand firm against the crafty acts of the Devil". Eph. 6:11.
Shielded,
as an ancient knight
in metal heavy and cold
but protected
her goal
although,
to the outside audience
Sabrina dressed today with the utmost care
with pink wedge-heeled swede-fringed sharp-toed boots, a matching knee-length straight skirt, fringe-less
with a white silk poet's tunic blouse open-necked soft and loose
jewelry: earrings dangling with necklace also silver and long intertwined with turquoise leather strips
also used on her slicked-back ponytail to contain usually curly black hair
sometimes difficult to hold.
Yes,
Sabrina loved to race the sunrise
and this day was no exception
with ernest reflection
this scripture she did not despise:
"So, then, let us not sleep on as the rest do, but let us stay awake and keep our senses." 1 Thess. 5:6.
Knowing that if she strenuously this applied:
"Therefore, subject yourselves to God; but oppose the Devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7.
Also, encouraged to Jehovah do:
"Trust in him at all times, O people.
Pour out your hearts before him.
God is a refuge for us." Ps. 62:8.
She, with growing number of united racial others
would eternally
these traumatic days
Survive.
With those thoughts inside confined
Sabrina gripped her black leather backpack strap and jacket donned on her back
exited her home
edified
with a solid purpose in mind
with no limp in her stride... TO BE CONT'D
