#18: HIS WORD WAS LIKE A BURNING FIRE

The Word of God was given to the prophets of old,

They were to study it and then seek to be bold!

The Word may not be easily comprehended at all,

But the true servant will listen hard to God’s Call.

 

The Word of God may be learned by both young and old,

Age does not matter, as long as the heart is not cold.

God’s word is sometimes like a hammer that breaks sin,

At other times, it will do a cleansing work from deep within.

 

The Word of God is sometimes like a burning fire aflame,

It burns away till the heart cannot but proclaim God’s name!

This is what may happen to the man after God’s own heart,

The LORD is always close; from His servant, He will never depart!

 

The Word of God is a precious gift that must be treasured,

We are to ponder over it, each Word carefully measured.

May the Word of God be like a fire in our heart today!

Let us cry out to the Lord for His grace without any delay!
