If an idle body
is the
devil's playground,
Why do we play there
at all?
When we brave to climb the
ladder
to the
top of his slide,
When we dare to wiggle our
hips
to fit
in his strap swing,
When we even hang like a
monkey
on his
tall jungle gym,
We put at the devil's disposal,
for sure,
our hands and feet,
but he's playing for so much
more...our very eyes on him.
And that's not all...he
won't stop
until
he's captured us full, heart,
mind and soul.
Awake fellow soldiers! Arise!
It's
a war we’re in, and worse
we're the only true battlefield.
The devil's not playing,
if we
don't keep our eyes
on God's heavenly prize,
in graves we'll be staying.
Don't enter those gates!
Raise
the flag in His Name!
You can't have both the Christ
and the world’s pleasures as well.
So much depends upon
being
busy, all the time busy;
look, look about you all round,
this is the fight for your very life,
your last battleground.¹

Philippians 3:14-21, 4:8
