Declaring and Discovering the TruthIf a document is completely true The message remains the same too It is known for presenting the facts Not influenced by how others react An example is a country's declaration The source of government constitution Legal and binding contract of that land It cannot be changed by common man How much greater then is the Holy Bible God-breathed, trustworthy and reliable About 40 writers, over a 1500 year span One central focus, all by Spirit-led men Accurate modern translations exist today With final meaning not changed in any way Translators are specially trained in this skill Keeping the original message consistent still There are paraphrases that help us understand But they are written from insights of one man When used along with a well-known translation They often can be a tool for personal application There are groups who use their own Bible version They may offer a very different way of salvation It is wise to know what and why a person believes Giving assurance in not easily becoming deceived So many people today are searching for spirituality Using various methods to discover individuality In their quest, they find a path that seems to be right If it makes sense, they may view it as divine insight They long to find something for the emptiness inside A way to escape when tempted to run away and hide There is only One person, Jesus, who meets that need Once He enters a person's life, He is a true friend indeed When a person knows Jesus, there is no other better way The Holy Spirit gives guidance and direction day by day Trust God's Word, even when it is hard to clearly see God always has a definite plan in mind for you and me Proverbs 14:12 (NIV) There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. © Carol Salter 5/5/09 Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
