HIS NET IS A SURE BET<\/p>\n

Consider that when we are young,
\nIt seems we just always like to fret,
\nAnd when we’ve reached adulthood,
\nWe may often find ourselves in debt.<\/p>\n

But by the time we\u2019ve become old,
\nWe realize God had our life all set,
\nSo then if I may share my opinion,
\nThe Lord is certainly one sure bet.<\/p>\n

Oh, yes, what an important lesson,
\nWhich I pray you will never forget,
\nWe are safe in the arms of Jesus,
\nBecause He caught us in His net.<\/p>\n

You see He truly cares a lot for us,
\nYou might even say we\u2019re His pet,
\nSo we should always trust in Him,
\nHe’s the best friend we ever met.<\/p>\n

I’ve reached the end of my poem,
\nThe time has come for me to jet,
\nI trust you\u2019ve enjoyed the lesson,
\nAnd that you didn’t just get all wet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
