Why?

Why let yourself be discouraged and play right into the devil’s hand?

Why hang your head in shame when He willingly stretched out His arms for you?

Why act as if you’re guilty when you know your conscience is clean?

Why let yourself be defeated when He has already won the battle?

Why count the lost friendships instead of the friends who stand true?

Why fear what the future holds when He has it ordained?

Why be shocked when the scorners come instead of anticipating what He will do?

Why look down with shoulders stooped instead of looking up to Him?

Why listen to those on the other side instead of simply walking the straight and narrow way?

Why run to man for help when He your Fortress would be?

Why doubt that which you know is truth instead of standing firm?

Why let men being used by Satan defy the Lord dwelling in you?

Why feel the prick of their lies and jeers when He so silently bore much more for you?

Why complain that your road’s not easy when He always knew the path you’d take?

Why not just trust, just stand, just pray, just walk forward in His way?
