My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words. Don’t lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body. -Proverbs 4:20-22(NLT)
LIFE AND HEALING FROM THE WORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
The Lord asks his children to pay attention to his word
The word will guide them to navigate in this world
He recommends them never to lose sight of it
For they bring life and healing to those who seek it.
Meditate on what Scriptures say and you’ll see his light
It will make you discern the Holy Spirit’s insight
The word is alive and brings healing to your pains
Pursue it and be hungry for it and you will reap gains.

When I re-committed my life to Jesus and became a born again Christian, He also gave me a hunger for his word. I used to be obsessed with knowledge and I read a lot of books in the past. Reading the word of God is very different from just reading any other book on any topic. The difference is that it is alive. 2 Timothy 3:16 says that all Scriptures is God-breathed and is there to convict us, teach us and guide us to do the right thing. It took God’s truth to heal five decades of traumas and strongholds in an instant.
