You can peruse your Bible,
all that you want . . .
but if you don’t apply it
what have you got?
For what good does it do,
if you don’t employ and heed
the instruction God gives
to you as you read?
You can read the Word,
all the day long . . .
but if you don’t utilize it
how can you be strong?
For once in the world,
you venture out in . . .
how will you keep from
being tempted by sin?
You can study your Bible,
till your face turns blue
but if you don’t live it . . .
what good is it to you!
~~~~~~~~
But he said, Yea rather,
blessed are they that hear
the word of God, and keep it.
