Importance of Study
So very many lessons in the scriptures we must learn
A multitude of lessons on each precious page we turn
But while we have these lessons so few seem to understand
That all their many questions are there answered as God planned
If they would simply trust Him searching daily there to see
The attributes of Godliness shared by divinity
For reason and for purpose that is likewise shared as well
To fit us for His Kingdom not the punishment of hell
But still it seems the masses though they have God's Word in hand
Would rather just neglect the path that God for us has planned
And wander in their ignorance without the will to do
The simply edifying work that's there for me and you
That work of simply list'ning while we sit with Him in prayer
Attending to His awesome Word and all that's waiting there
One miracle that's followed by another in its turn
From which there is so very much God's wanting us to learn
About His great provisions for our many needs each day
That give us health and healing as we seek the narrow Way
Enlightening through providence our minds with precious Truth
That will again be studied in that land of endless youth
For what most do not realize about our learning here
Is it's just a beginning for those folks who will not fear
When in the clouds of glory Christ returns for those who tried
To emulate the character of Him we crucified
And what seems still a mystery for many still today
Is how God can be instantly among us when we pray
And give us strength and wisdom for the challenges we meet
Assuring us of victory and not of sound defeat
For those who have their hand upon that mighty Word of prayer
Will find therein the power of our God that's waiting there
A power yet untapped by those who think they know Him well
But have so little testimony of which they can tell
Because they've yet to seek Him as He's prayed that they would do
To have that great infilling that He's tried to bring them to
And only if they will today pursue Him in His Word
Will they receive the honor when His voice on high is heard
John 17:1-26
