Why didn't Fanstory let you do TGIF? Too short? Weird. This was a fun little poem and definitely a good reminder for us. Sometimes we get caught up in what's going on we sometimes forget about God. Great job

    It said I could not do all caps. I tried doing periods after each letter and it still wouldn't let me do it. Guess they wanted me to know who was boss.

This is a very powerful, well-written spiritual--CHRISTIAN-- piece.
We must rely on Him every day to guide and strengthen us. We must be aware of Satan's power--and of God's ultimate power!

I have paused to smile at sayings that churches have on their signs on more than one occasion. Often they say what I need to hear a the time. Thank you for sharing this well written poem.

A very catchy little saying that church had there! ;) You've taken it and made a very well-rounded little collection of rhyming couplets that would be great for a Vacation Bible School this summer! ;) ;) Thanx for sharing! ;)

I really like this TGIF! God should be first every day in our life but somehow we fail to keep it that way. You used very good words and I enjoyed reading this very much! Thanks for sharing my friend! love and blessings, Teri

    thanks so much, Teri
    I try hard to start every day with God, but I'm not always good at staying the course throughout the day

    Jan, I can totally understand. I try my best, but things just crop up for some reason!

This is interesting,but I wouldn't add God with Satan. It is just not a good idea. It is an interesting poem, but write something else that is better. Write about how God represents for all of us for example.

    I understand, Raul, and, if you check my portfolio, you will find I have written lots of those kinds of poems; however, this is what struck me when I saw the sign

I can understand why you were inspired to write this poetry after seeing that church sign. You've done a wonderful job with it. The message is spot on. You never know how something with just eight short lines might impact a reader in a big way. Forever blessings!

    thank you, Spangle
    are you sure we didn't know each other in a different life?

This is awesome. No artwork needed.
One reason I enjoyed this is because of your second line. As we well know, Satan specifically targets God's children for he feels he already has the others.
You used really good rhyme, and I like the lavender/purple 'spiritual' colors.
Beautiful :)

We are told to put on the sword of the Spirit (the word of God) -the breastplate of righteousness, - I would not challenge the enemy - I'd want God to go to the door if he knocks.
Thanks for your good poem that made me think.

    thanks, Gail, I wouldn't challenge Satan if I didn't know that God has my back all the time

Your poem goes right along with my favorite verse. "Today is the day that God has given us, let us be joyful and glad in it." I hear so many people complain about the weather, which is just the devil talking.
