ISSUES OF LIFE
❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
In Proverbs 4:23, a timeless verse we find,
A wisdom profound, a truth so divine,
It speaks to the heart, a treasured advice,
To guide and protect, to make us wise.
"Guard your heart with utmost care;
For from it flow the issues of life," we share.
In these words lie the secrets to be unfurled,
To steer our souls from the chaos of this world.
Our hearts are a reservoir, where dreams take flight,
A vessel of emotions, pure and bright.
Yet, within its depths, both light and dark reside,
A battleground where sin and virtue collide.
To shield this sacred space, we must delve,
Into God's holy scripture, wherein He'll help,
By studying His word, we gain wisdom's might,
To discern what is wrong and choose what is right.
For evil and sinful thoughts, like weeds, will grow,
Choking love, joy, and peace, quenching hope's glow.
But the power of God's word, like a refiner's fire,
Burns away the dross, purifies desire.
So let us take heed and be watchful each day,
Of what we see, hear, think, and say,
For they shape our hearts, like a potter's clay,
Molding our lives in a profound way.
What enters our eyes, through screens and books,
What we listen to, the words that provoke,
Influences subtle, insidious, and sly,
Can let the devil in, cause our hearts to die.
But by guarding our hearts, we'll weather the storm,
In this world filled with chaos, anger, and scorn.
Where temptations lurk, and trials arise,
Aligning with God's truth, our hearts will be wise.
Let love be our compass, compassion our guide,
With grace, forgiveness, and patience beside,
For by guarding our hearts, we'll bear the light,
To a world in darkness, lost in the night.
So, may we seek wisdom, in God's word, we learn,
To cast away what causes our hearts to yearn,
Release the burdens, the fears, and the strife,
And let our hearts be guided to eternal life.
In the issues of life, our hearts can find peace,
When we allow God's word to guide and to cease,
The evil and sinful thoughts that assail,
And let His love and truth without fail.
Thus, titled "Issues of Life," this poem does convey,
The importance to guard our hearts day by day,
By studying God's word, His guidance embrace,
And let His love and light illuminate our space.
