Knowing Whose You Are
Christian Poetry
David knew who he was
He also knew whose he was
When others quaked and feared
He stepped out with boldness
Speaking great words of faith
He faced the adversary
With confidence, he attacked
The fearsome enemy fell
And victory was claimed.
Jesus had to face the devil
At a time when the flesh was weak.
To seek help outside of God
He was tempted to doubt who He was
To prove that He was who He was.
But Jesus knew who He was
He knew whose He was too.
He did not need to show
That His Father was faithful
Or to submit His authority.
He knew the Word
He spoke the Word
And the devil fled.
When faced by the enemy
Who tries to make you doubt,
To question God’s faithfulness.
So, there’s a delay,
And the storms are raging all around
Buffeted on all sides
Your strength is ebbing
Everywhere seems so dark
Seems that all hope is lost
No point in going on, you think.
But just like David,
Try to remember
His help in times past
He saved you. He delivered you.
He can and will do it again.
Do not take your eyes away
Keep them fixed on the Master
So you don’t go down in the waves, like Peter.
And even when you find yourself sinking,
Simply cry out and He will lift you up.
Put His Words in your heart
Store them like precious treasures
Think on them always and
Whenever you need them
They will come forth from the deep places
To help you hold on and then overcome.
Let His Words be on your lips at all times
Speak it with boldness
To that situation.
The Word on your lips is powerful
The enemy knows this
He even tries harder to make you stop.
Never quit speaking it
His Word always prevails only if you persist.
You are His treasured possession
Never let the enemy make you doubt this
God desires that you know Him more
Walk with Him continually
Trust in His love for you
And face the adversary boldly, knowing whose you are.
