Getting Familiar With Divine Treasure
How does one get to know the Bible?
the same you get to know friends
by spending real time with them
so you become the real spiritual blend
No matter the years you've lived
you can't sit back being complacent
for the scriptures will find you out
leaving you down in the basement
Like a herb when it's in full flavour
God provides enlightenment of light
making the clarity of scripture so real
discipleship takes you in full flight
When you become more familiar
with holy writ, there's a new dimension
for this divine word reveals a treasure
to you far hidden never a mention
But now God reveals in His word
His purpose to push your sanctification
gifting His treasure to you a sinner
transforms you with real ramifications
("To get the full flavour of an herb, it must be pressed between the fingers, so it is the same with scriptures, the more familiar they become, the more they reveal their hidden treasures and yield their indescribable riches.")
John Chrysostom (A.D. 347-407)
