Kay Cude Poetry: Fear Not!

Poetry by Kay Cude. Used with permission. Kay Cude is a Texas poet.

Surely the mouth of the Lord has spoken: FEAR NOT
“Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous Right Hand.
Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing,
And those who strive with you shall perish.
You shall seek them and not find them- Those who contended with you. Those who war against you
Shall be as nothing,
As a nonexistent thing.” Isaiah 41: 10-12

OBSERVE
Though deadly times seem far away, they are around life’s curve; their winding path continues on–take note that you observe–

Though fear assails your very heart, let not your faith succumb; the adversary’s reign soon ends, his power now’s undone. A chasm deep may lie ahead, so vast and wide its beams;

fear not beloved, you will not fall, you are Christ’s own redeemed. God’s promises to Israel, a hope that we embrace; we are the branch He’s grafted in, adoption through His Grace. by kay cude, Janaury 2016©

…for He Himself has said, I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,’ so that we may confidently say, The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5c-6
