This poem is a tribute to the Word of God, which I am so thankful for. I love to be able to read His Word! I pray for those who desire to read the Bible but don’t have access to it. It is inconceivable that just owning the Bible is illegal or dangerous in 52 countries. But when you think about how powerful His Word is, I suppose it makes sense to keep it out of the hands of people if you want to control them. God’s Word, when it takes hold of the heart, will not be displaced.
The Word of God
The Word of God
is alive
fills my life
with blessings
wisdom and
comfort
The Word of God
is active
changes my heart
with conviction
truth and
love
The Word of God
is sharp
judges my thoughts
with precision
repentance and
faith
The Word of God
is watchful
sees me
with understanding
mercy and
grace
The Word of God
is a lamp
by which I see me
as He sees
my heart and
soul
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 4:12-13 (NIV).
