The scripture verses presented on this blog usually confirm or tie in with the poetic message; but these are the best reasons to list the various scriptures:

“My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.
Do not let them depart from your eyes;
Keep them in the midst of your heart;
For they are life to those who find them,
And health to all their flesh.
Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.
Put away from you a deceitful mouth,
And put perverse lips far from you.”  Proverbs 4:20-24

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”  Romans 10:17

“But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”  Matthew 4:4

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”  Joshua 1:8

“Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.”  Psalm 1:1-2

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”  Colossians 3:16

The more we hear the Word,

the more we’ll be assured.

Faith comes by hearing it often.

Through it, worries and fears will soften.

The Word will actually drive out fear,

which is why on this blog, it will often appear.

The Word becomes a part of you as you quote it…

It’s inspiration from God, who, by the Holy Spirit, wrote it.

The more we hear it,

the more we’ll revere it.

The more we read it,

the more we’ll heed it.

The more we view it,

the more we’ll do it.  (“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”  James 1:22)

And the more the devil hears it from us, 

the more he’ll want to stay clear of us!

P. A. Oltrogge

Jesus said, “It is written…”

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105
