Poem

The Bible

When I’m still new in the Lord
I always hear these words to the people in the church,
“I hear God telling me something important.”
“I know it was God speaking to me.”
These statements bother my mind before

And since then, I always wonder how God talks to His people
When I begin to read His word
I realized the answer to my questions are found in the Bible
It feels so amazing every time I hear the voice of God
through the words that I am reading

Especially when I read the life of Jesus
Or perhaps the story of Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and many more
It seems like one way or another,
I can relate to their stories and experiences in life
And it really inspires me a lot

I can personally testify that the words in the Bible are alive
It gives me hope when I am down
It’s where I got my courage when I wanted to give up
And it’s where I learned a lot of things about God

I cannot imagine my life without it
I know that I need His word every day
God never fails to say the right words to me
And most of the time,
He uses the Bible to teach me important things
that I need to learn

The Bible is indeed my manual in life
It’s not just an ordinary book for me
It’s where I get my daily bread
It nourishes my soul and strengthens me

Above all, it’s where I found my true identity in the Lord
If you wanted to experience the same thing,
Then I encourage you right now to read the Bible

God will encounter you through His words
The more you delight in everything that’s written on it
The more you experience God in your life
Spend time with Him by reading His word
And make it more personal
