As we keep things in our hearts
And store things in our minds,
We soon have many storage "rooms",
With facts of many kinds.
To keep these rooms in order
It is wise to add God's Word,
For this will keep us balanced
And our strength will undergird.
Perhaps some rooms are closed,
And we haven't oped the door
Because we are not ready
To address what's there in "store".
But God will search our hearts
And discover deep within
Our hidden pain and sorrow
And our deep regret of sin.
When God's Word is welcome
It will balance what is weak.
To every issue we may face
His Word, in love, will speak.
"Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him."
Proverbs 30:5 KJV
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Hebrews 4:12 KJV
