Safely in the fold

I love how the Lord moves in my heart. I sat down to journal about my fears of falling back into the grasp of my struggles. I have not felt victorious in several weeks. I look at the path I am on and fear that I am failing. Lies and temptations and darkness have assaulted me at every turn, but I have no reason to fear. I am standing in the Light. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness shall not overcome it.

How have I sustained this thing, when did it grow so large?
The claws hooked deep into my flesh make me wonder whose in charge?
I have one eye on The King, the other on the creature.
I strain my ears and try to hear which is the louder preacher.
The creature screaming doubt and fear, condemning every failure.
While love, peace, joy and hope flow from my blessed Savior.
I'm clinging tightly to my Rock, seeking refuge on solid ground
While darkness whips my world around
sideways, backwards and upside down
I desperately seek my Shepherds voice. I can't hold on much longer.
Gently He whispers, "I've made my choice, your Savior's arms are stronger
The enemy cannot tear you away while I am resolved to hold
So rest my lamb and know I have you tucked safely in the fold. "

Resting on the promises of God!
