#9: NO DELIGHT IN THE WORD OF GOD

What did the Word of God mean to the false prophets? Do you recall?

It meant nothing to them, it was never in their heart or mind at all!

They dismissed the Word of God as of no value; that drew God’s ire;

The LORD warned that the Word of God would consume like dread fire.

 

What did the Word of God mean to the people in the days of Jeremiah?

It was a reproach to a people steeped in sin; for the Word there was no desire.

There was no delight at all in the Word of God that could deliver them,

But the Word of God to the wise and faithful, would be like precious gems!

 

The place of God’s word in our heart would help us understand God’s plan,

Without the knowledge of His word, our relationship with Him is at an end.

The Word of God is His special way of reaching deep into our soul,

Through it, we can be revived and we can be restored and be whole!

 

How we need to appreciate afresh the power of the Word of the Lord,

It can convert our soul, it can bring us into the Kingdom of God!

Our part is to cry out to the Lord to open our eyes that we can truly know,

The Spirit of God would give us enlightenment, our souls would be aglow!
