The Spiritual Battlefield

By Ephraim Yeung (Eee)

...

I am weary from battle.

My wounds of war are deep.

I have seen many of my brethren have fallen by my side.

My shield of faith is dented,

bent and scratched,

but it still stands strong.

My breastplate of righteousness hangs by a thread.

The flaming arrows of the enemy are all around me,

wounding those without a shield of faith.

My Sword of Truth is dented and chipped,

but the word of God still stands.

Our enemy feats my strength,

given to me by the infinite strength of God.

As I battle in the army of the Lord my God,

I battle for more than life itself,

I battle for the souls of my neighbor.

Only through the brokenness of their spirit,

can their soul be saved.
