Do not gaze upon the darkness, lest it consumes you within Its enticement brings strong desire, which can cause you to sin Strong are the claws that it uses, to snatch souls unaware It fishes with curiosity as its lure-wisdom calls out, “beware” Sin opens the door to evil, but repentance will shut the door “Be sure you do not open it again,” My Spirit earnestly implores The ear hears with curiosity but with obedience the heart will listen Those who are overcomers, with a new name I will christen The one who will gaze intently at My perfect law and obeys Is the one I will dwell with when night turns to eternal day Darkness will be swallowed by victory, forever truth will reign Then you will know that your labor in the Lord, has not been in vain Debbie Furey January 20, 2020 1 Corinthians 15:54-58 – “When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” 55 “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” Romans 1:28-32 Revelation 2:12-17 James 1:19-27
