Precious Book
A bookworm since I have learned to read well
I’d devour leaves which printed knowledge grants
feasting on sumptuous reading delights
to appease cravings of perusal buds...
hence, books as gifts are my precious treasures.
Amidst spiritual metamorphosis
blessed transformation in Christ gripped me
when by faith I trusted the Saviour God
Who offered redemption’s love, grace and joy
through Book of Life He perfectly authored.
With divine freedom, I keep on venturing toward the eternal
propelled by wings of wisdom against fears
thanking the Lord Who authored the Book for mankind
“Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth”
the Bible --- inspired, revealed Word of God.
Complete as milk and meat for soul’s growth gain
great Book nurtures the spirit with virtues
exposing transgressions as mirror does
in reproving, warning, checking the heart…
I welcome in meditating its texts.
Thankful for the Scriptures’ nourishing power
I praise the Almighty with His revival omnipotence
strengthening, sustaining, satisfying
toward meaningful optimum service
while abiding in the Book of the Law.*
Today, I do strive to share the Book’s message
reigning with hope, propped by God’s compassion
prevailing over doubts upon His truth
vanquishing deceit through His assurance ---
that’s my testimony… and grateful for the Word of God I possess.
*Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
