Peace, be still, Jesus said
Endeavor to keep unity in the Spirit
And let the peace of God dwell in you
Cover yourself with His Armor and
Equip yourself to walk in His peace
Acrostic
Now the God of peace be with you all.
Romans 15:33 KJV
PEACE
Tag: Armor of God
Redoubtable Enemy
Quite fearful, yes,
A formidable opponent,
Sent to cause fear.
Yet God’s Armor protects me,
If I but wear it,
And stand firm resisting this
Foe, who hurls his darts
Of doubt, trying to wound my heart,
Until they meet the shield of faith.
Choka
Poem Inspired by Dictionary.com—Word Of The Day—Redoubtable
Origin
English redoubtable comes from Middle English redoutable “terrible, frightening, worthy of honor, venerable,” ultimately from Old French redotable, redoubtable, a derivative of the verb redouter “to fear, dread.” Redouter is formed from a French use of the prefix re- as an intensive (for instance, in refine), a use that Latin re- does not have, and from Latin dubitāre “to doubt, hesitate, waver” (but not “to fear”). Redoubtable entered English in the first half of the 15th century.
Saint Support
Oft times nestle?
Or sometimes wrestle?
A broken vessel?
Not feeling very special?
Run to God, He’s your trestle
Tanka/Rhyme
Tears of Regret
Above,
Soft voice speaks:
“Saint, why are you crying?”
“My heart has been wounded today
I’m hurt”
I say.
“Ah, tis so I see”
Says He from high above.
“Why is your armor in your closet
Today?”
“Forgot”
I reply shamefully,
Hanging my head in woe.
“I was in a hurry and had places
To go”.
“I see”
Says He from high,
“ Your mind and body was
Unprotected from the enemy’s wiles
And so,
He had
Access to harm
You. Dear Saint always be
Aware and your armor to wear
Each day”
Crown Cinquain/Dialogue
Unclad
We smiled, chittering and chattering
As daylight filled with bright sunshine
Spilled upon us walking sprightly.
In the distance a lion roared
But the sound did not reach
Our quiescent ears
Dulled by sleep.
Our guard down,
The lion
Strikes!
Caught
Off guard
We scramble
To stand and fight
The enemy attack.
Unprepared for battle,
Head and heart vulnerable
To fleshly fear and worldly anger,
We attempt to vanquish our beastly foe
Unprotected. We cry out for God to help us!
Reverse Etheree and Etheree
Based on 1Peter 5:8 and Ephesians 6:10-18
Freedom In Him
Favored.
Clothed with Grace.
Stand firm in His Armor.
His child, His bride, His warrior.
No fear.
Cinquain

A Day in the World
Treated unfairly.
Rude words spoken.
Things untrue blasted.
Feelings wounded.
My spirit angry.
Head bowed low.
Reminded of the Armor.
I read the word.
I pray in the Spirit.
My shield of Faith goes up.
I stand firm in shoes of Peace.
The enemy retreats…
