I ever heard that Dog stands for Depend On God. But this time, there is another definition for Dog.

Bait

Oh, we are like fishes in the pond
Swimming with enjoyment
Until
A hook with worm
Suddenly rolls down
Tempting fishes to
Take the bait
Bait to be devoured
Bait to death and destruction

Hooks of the devil
Snares of the devil
Traps of the devil
Wiles of the devil

Temptations from the devil
Deserve our attentions to beware
Deserve our attentions to guard ourselves
Deserve our attentions to seek God’s intervention

To stand strong in our faith
To stand with Jesus’ strength
To please our Lord
As the ambassadors of gospel
To be the vessel of Light

Do we ignore God’s Words and choose to fall into temptations?
Or
Temptations are overpowered with our choices to stand in His Words?

The second stanza came first followed by the rest. But the first stanza birthed out upon ending all stanza. First stanza’s purpose and idea came from second stanza with word “hook”. It was an allegory to depict human’s frailty needing of God’s strength.

SiP

Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJV)
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of
faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

Hikari Yori
This acrostic idea came when I shredding paper. Since SP didn’t give any meaning, inserting “i” seemed suitable letter candidate than “a”. Sip gives the meaning of drinking and dwelling in Christ’s strength and protection. According to the free online dictionary, sip means
1. To drink in small quantities
2. A small quantity of liquid sipped

Tojiru Yoshiko
Upon thinking of sip and Yori’s idea, shield of faith verses inspired my poetry. Graphical design will help to illustrate this message better.

Tienny The
Designing the sip graphically challenged me. I feel to make the small letter “i” signify human’s frailty needing God’s grace and mercy. Then integrity will follow.

PG

Mistakes, Failures and Setbacks
Does all these contribute to our
Maturity or paralysis?
Mature in faith in Christ or Stop us from moving forward?

Realizing the setbacks in my life are part of growth process into maturity. Many people also go through the same process. This realization produced the acronym of PG.

Humans vs Trees

Bald or leafless?
Hairless or no leafs?
Trimmed hair or trimmed leafs?

Bald is hairless
Leafless is bald tree
Neat hair or Neat tree?
Tidy hair or tidy tree?

Leafs are trees’ hair
Either long or short hair strands
Either straight, wavy, or curvy hair strands
On head
Hair is our design style
Every leaf at tree barks is a tree’s style

Winter time causes
Bald trees
Hairless trees
Winter body phase
Bald head
Hairless head

But spring time will come where
Leafs sprout of out trees
Beautify the trees
Hair strands grow out of head
Beautify appearances

Trees acknowledge their phases of growth
Likewise humans need to acknowledge their phases of life

Trees endure during dry times trusting its Creator to bloom with fruits
Likewise humans also need to persevere in our faith in Christ during
hardship to bloom with the fruits of the Spirit

Out of the window, my 39 months old toddler is attracted to a man cutting the tree leaves. Obviously, the cutter is trimming the trees’ leaves.
