Preach, Love & Pray Poem by Tom Zart

Sooner or later we all face dilemmas
That are stressful and less than desirable.
In moments like these we rely on God
To lift us and keep us reliable.


To relate to struggle just think of Paul
With every right to be doubtful to extreme.
Repeated beatings, ridicule and imprisonment
While trusting God to fulfill his dream.

Paul didn't allow hardship to change his behavior
Or shape his attitude toward the unkind.
His deliverance came from suffering and obedience
Which blessed him with God's wisdom of mind.

Thanks to captivity Paul gained exposure
To an audience he would not have any other way.
Where is your focus during times of judgment
Lost in self-pity or do you preach, love and pray?
