The Word of God is the "Measuring Rod" (Poem)
The Word of God
Is the measuring rod,
It is the ruler of our hearts, and souls
Assessing and evaluating our lives
Preparing us for our destiny
We should really always endeavor
To compare our lives to it, and
Not to the lives others,
Comparisons lead to competitions
With sisters and with brothers,
We are distinct from each other
Having gifts which differ, and
Some that are the same,
Comparing our lives only
To the Word of God,
Leads us, and brings about
The necessary change,
These are precepts and principles,
Parables and insights
We need to adhere to,
Which can help us and to navigate
All the way through,
We have counselors, advisors, and
Sound doctrine of the holy kind,
There are admonitions, warnings, and
Exhortations, to gauge our way,
There is correction, and instruction
Written for all of us,
Comparing ourselves to others
Is simply and unnecessarily unjust,
It will not pave the path
To our ultimate completion,
Conforming into the image
Of Jesus Christ will,
Keep your eyes on Jesus, and
Follow Him!
Compare your life only to
The Word of God, because
It is our measuring rod.
