If we don’t discern the voices
As to where they’re coming from –
We will swallow every word
And entrust it all along.
Because words carry the seeds
That germinate in our mind;
They will either build or will destroy
Any ripe vessel they can find.
Words they are embedded
And deep within the soul,
Where choices will develop
And where actions will unfold.
The enemy of our soul
Will attempt to rent the space,
And rent-free with his destructive ways
So consequences we will face.
He will vomit hate and bitterness
To envelop our mind and heart,
And without paying a single cent
To steal our joy – to tear apart.
But discernment it is needed
As to what’s false or what is true,
Since the word of God will correct and guide
With a conviction to renew.
The perpetual space in our mind
Is a vacuum to be filled;
It is wise to make good choices
As to what will be instilled.
If we allow the precious Lord
To renew our heart and mind,
We will naturally shut the door
To deceitful voices of all kind.
Jesus gives us peace;
It’s a promise He has made,
Let’s allow His Spirit to furnish our mind
Since His life for us He gave.
