🥰 Shalom everyone in Blurt!
Thank You Jesus Christ for His mercy and for prolonging our breath! The Holy Spirit inspired me to write the poem «In the beginning of the ages was the Word», so I share it with you today. This poem was written in Ukrainian, but I have translated it into English. I hope that the meaning of each word is preserved and that you can easily understand it.
For me, God's Word is not only the Scriptures, but everything He preaches to me every day in my heart. Of course, this never contradicts the Bible, but it confirms once again how alive God's Word is and how much it can divide spirit and soul. Jesus preaches to me every day, even if I have forgotten or have not had time to hold a Bible in my hands, and He does not condemn me at all when this happens. On the contrary, He wants me to finally stop hoping that self-righteousness in the form of a perfect knowledge of the Scriptures on an intellectual level can save me. It won't. Only Jesus Christ saves, and when we allow His righteousness to enter our souls, the religious masks come off and then we begin to live not by the letter, but by the Spirit.
Nothing can enrich the human soul more than a living relationship with God. Don't think that satan doesn't try to make us see our relationship with Jesus as a mere obligation to read the Bible and memorise the Psalms, to pray and sing constantly, as if otherwise God will not come to you and pay attention to you or judge you. I'm not saying that we shouldn't pray or read the Bible, that's all good. But when we do, let the Grace of Jesus Christ guide us!
And the Word was with God,
And the Word was the Lord,
And the Word is Alive.
God's Word is Holy, Unchanging.
By It the earth was made.
It is a strong and steadfast fortress.
God's Word is my mountain!
I live and am strengthened by God's Word,
I believe in the power It has.
There isn't a drop of deception in It,
God's Word is pure seed!
The Lord sows the fields with His Word,
Prepare your heart to receive Him!
Take care, for the evil one doesn't want
it to grow and bear fruit.
Drive out the ravens quickly,
And don't let the thorns grow.
Pray to God that he may let you take root
and the sun's rays cannot dry you up!
JESUS IS LORD! YES AND AMEN!
ВІД ПОЧАТКУ ВІКІВ БУЛО СЛОВО
Від початку віків було Слово,
І Слово у Бога було,
І Словом тим був Сам Господь,
По сьогодні живе воно.
Боже Слово святе і незмінне,
Ним поставлена була земля.
Це твердиня міцна й непохитна,
Боже Слово - це скеля моя!
Божим Словом живу і зміцняюсь,
Вірю в силу що має воно.
В Нім немає ні краплі обману,
Боже Слово - це чисте зерно!
Господь Словом поля засіває,
Підготуй своє серце прийняти Його!
Бережись, бо не хоче лукавий,
Щоб зросло та плоди принесло.
Лютих воронів швидко жени з нього,
І тернині не дай розростись.
Моли в Бога, щоб довге коріння
Пустило і сонячний промінь не зміг засушить!
ІСУС ГОСПОДЬ! ТАК ТА АМІНЬ!
Blessings be upon you, everyone who receives the Word of God and seeks God's face. May the Lord be found in you and your life be fruitful for Jesus Christ, Amen!
