My Wayward Thought

MY WAYWARD THOUGHT My wayward thought It streams into my heart… Uncontrollably, Like a turbulent sea, Tossing back and forth. My wayward thought visit me Even at the Church! Right there on the altar! Even when I lift my voice to God In worship… I just couldn’t help it! My heart is greatly deceitful. I have been transformed… I have been sanctified Washed and purified The HolySpirit bears me witness! So why couldn’t I hold my wayward thoughts into captive? A ray of light… Seeped into my heart, Gently as the dawn of a new day. And at the glimpse of the light, The darkness evaporated! Then it dawn on me… Exactly what my heart needed… Sanctification of the WORD! My heart needed to be sanitized… Only by the Word! Daily renewal of the Word Gave me power over imaginations, Power over arguments… That exalt itself against The knowledge of Christ! Then the Word became a shield, For my fragile heart. Fierce arrows of wayward thoughts, Shot angrily at my heart! It couldn’t penetrate! My heart has been shielded By the Word! Oh yes, shielded and protected, Only by the Word. ©Ayeni Oluwatosin
