DEVIL TAKES THE YOUNGEST
by Randy Conway
Living in a world of make believe
Unable to deal with reality
Arrested development is the rule
And the moniker of this generation is– fooled
Unable to cope with difficulty
Crushed under life’s intensity
No longer is there Intuitive nature of motherhood
And lost is the knowledge of Godly manhood.
How many generations were sent out unprepared
Into a world of tribulation, pain and even despair?
Learning simple life skills is now considered a lost art
And unprepared and without skills they quickly fall apart.
Universities full of young adults must offer emotional counseling
All because for generations now truth we have been denouncing.
Emotionally dysfunctional and unable to bear life’s normal stress
And the children that will be spawned by them will grow in that distress.
Commitment to motherhood, to fatherhood or marriage is gone
And it will be another generation for evil minions to feed upon.
Do grandparents still pray for the children in their line
Do parents cherish their children and realize the limit to time?
Do pastors have the tools to minister in this age
Where unchecked emotions can turn quickly into rage?
Do teachers really care about their students or just the pay
And will there be healing for us all or does evil win the day?
Intelligence among this generation is at an all time high
But wisdom and coping skills are left to days gone by
It is no fault of their own this belongs to those who came before
If they had the proper tools and truth this generation would soar.
Soar to heights we have never even dreamed before
Love has been removed and replaced by that which God abhors
Truth has been removed and left a void for lies to fill
And a predatory system seeking to destroy, to steal and kill.
Seeking those to whom the Truth remains a stranger
And history proves the devil always targets the younger.
Yes, the devil takes the youngest even from the womb
And he will seek to devour them from day one unto the tomb.
The overseer is the one to prepare and to protect
The mother is the one to love and to direct
The House should be a temple where Truth is displayed
The process of the House should be where Truth is staid.
The Word of God is where stability and life skills are learned
Not a place where attention, love and care are spurned.
Who is responsible for the condition of this age
Will there be a liability demanded is there a price to pay?
Who pays the greatest price those liable or the generations coming
Who is the party responsible for all the worlds shortcomings?
By God’s grace there is no condemnation for those who are in Him
Through His mercy the future is a future of hope not one that is grim.
He paid the price that was impossible for us to pay
For our failures yesterday and our failures today.
In Christ there is no longer any failure for any generation
But a life of hope, of joy, accomplishment and expectation.
Without Him we remain but fools
Arrested development continues to rule
The youngest the devil continues to seek
But Truth and hope the power of my tongue shall speak.
