Listen carefully to my words. Don’t lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep you’re your heart, for they bring life to those who find them. – Proverbs 4:20-22(NLT)
WORDS THAT BRING LIFE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you experiencing discouragement lately?
Have you been feeding on Scriptures faithfully?
When you listen carefully to what God’s word says
It will bring you to your knees and call you to pray.
Let the word of God penetrate deep in your heart
Meditate on it each morning for a good start
They bring life to those who find them
It brings them wisdom; they thrive when they abide.

Have you ever read a regular book that changed and transformed your life? I did have one in my late twenties when I got hold of a book entitled “The Power of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale. I was a Christian and a young mother but I wasn’t born again that time. I haven’t even read the bible when I bumped into this book. It taught me to change my very negative thinking by suggesting a “thank you” diary. I was in a transition in my life at this period of my life. I was desperate for change. It actually changed my attitude from complaining to thankfulness. What I didn’t know then was it all came from the bible. The words of God brought life into a desolate life.
