The Pressures of the Moment
I Samuel 17, 21
I rose and killed the giant
I slew him with a stone,
The other men were fearful
I stood in faith alone.
Then pressures came about me
My life was daily sought,
Then daily fears beset me
My faith I soon forgot.
I fell to worldly mindsets,
I lied before the Lord;
I trusted earthly weapons
And doubted my God’s Word.
The hero of a moment
I fell when life beset,
The pressures of the moment,
Compared to life, were less.
