The Battle of the Voices

There are two paths in life
His way or my way

One voice says, “Do it”
The other says, “Don’t”
One voice says, “Go this way”
The other says, “Come and play”
And the battle gets hotter
As one voice tries to be heard over the other
Even though the other voice is not that loud
But the impression is very strong
The one that strikes the ear with great force
Gives me a short-sighted picture
Enticing and very tempting
Pleasurable to my vision

I know deep within
As the silent voice tells me so
That the other way gives temporary gratification
But the end is death, the way to hell

I still struggle so hard
To make the decision that is right
I hear the laconic voice says,
“My way is narrow “
And I thought, “I cannot go through”
“I will not leave you nor forsake you”
And I am wondering how
“My Grace is sufficient for you”
And I said, “Hmmm”
“And my strength is made perfect in your weakness”
That delighted my heart
“And my peace I give you in abundance
And I said, “Thank You Lord!”

So I chose the narrow way
Knowing that He is holding me by my hand
And I said, “Yes Lord
To Your Will I shall obey”.

  1. Keep up the Good work for christ, powerful words
    "And I said, “Yes Lord To Your Will I shall obey”." keep seeking the will of the farther he will direct you.
