A Firm Foundation, A Sword Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

Faith that is grounded on God's Word
Will stand strong like a house on a rock.
Through storms of life it will accord,
A firm foundation, strength it won't lack.

Those who say that they have 'faith'
But they believe because it feels good.
In this, they just try to speak and negate
Who God is and can't say Truth as they should.

One cannot aptly take up defense
Without a sword out there in the battle.
God's Word is the weapon of His Presence
Active, alive, used in each struggle.

Words have a way of exposing the heart,
And Christ Himself said that great truth.
What is inside it, these we will impart,
Our words bear the reality of our fruit.

God cannot be mocked or trifled with.
A man would be sure to reap what he sows.
Let's speak what He said and not forfeit
Our faith, for God sees the heart, He knows.

I hope you enjoyed this sermon in rhyme,
And I pray the His light shine on you.
Read His Word for you don't have much time-
God is real and all that He said it true.
Read it.
