Don’t forget my words or turn away from them. -Proverbs 4:5 (NLT)
REMEMBER GOD’S WORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
As you go through life each and everyday
Do you consult the word in every way?
The Lord wants you never to forget his word
It is the only guide to navigate this world.
Eat the word by meditating on it day and night
It will surely change and transform your life
Remember to memorize Scriptures as often
It protects your heart from being hardened.
________________________________________
There were many years of my life that I didn’t consult God’s word. It was a shame because I missed out on so much wisdom and blessings. If I were only guided and brought up by seekers of God’s truth, my life wouldn’t have been such full of trials and sufferings. I could have focused more on what the Lord wants me to do for him instead of feeding cravings and pleasures.
I sought human knowledge almost as an obsession, not knowing that it actually enslaved me. 1 Corinthians 2:5 cautions us not to rely on human wisdom but on God’s power. 1 Timothy 3:16 tells us that all Scriptures is God-breathed and teaches, corrects and trains us in righteousness. If we don’t meditate on it, how can we ever learn from our mistakes? John 1:1 tells us that God and Jesus is the word. Without it we will perish.
