Devotions Philippians 4:7 Never, No Not Ever

Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus

Never, never, never,

Never ever,

Has God left me alone,

Or unprotected.

No, not ever,

Never ever.

He has been with me always,

When I was stupid,

He was wise

And loving,

Then, and again, and now.

He has never left me alone.

Always His love called to me,

When I was deaf He stood before me,

And mouthed His words.

When I was blind He made,

My heart and mind see.

When I couldn’t feel,

He touched and healed me.

Never, never, never,

Never ever,

Has God left me alone,

Or unprotected.

When the enemy of my soul,

Lied and told me “It’s not worth it!”

The Lord God,

This massive omnipotent God,

Put His gargantuan arm,

Tenderly around my shoulder.

And told me “Don’t believe Him”

“Believe me,

You’ll see,

It will all be worth it.

And in greater and

More numerous ways,

Than you can imagine”

Never, never, never,

Never ever,

Has God left me alone,

Or unprotected.

No, not ever,

Never ever.

So often He talked

Me off the ledge.

So often He hugged me till I dropped

The knife.

He sang peace into,

My heart and soul,

When I could not find it,

On my own.

Because I never could,

I never did,

And still can’t,

Find true,

Through and through,

Peace on my own.

So He has whispered to me,

“It’s okay, take some of mine.

You’ll be alright,

I promise.

Never, never, never,

Never ever,

Will I leave you alone,

Or unprotected.

No, not ever,

Never ever

Always I have been,

And always will be,

With you.

Always.

Forever.

And so I live.
