The Best News the World's Ever Heard

This poem was inspired in part by this messageand in part by a broken heart for thosewho don't know or simply don't care aboutThe Best News the World's Ever Heard "Isn't this the best news the world's ever heard?!!"Alistair Begg from the message/link below Here is the best news that the world’s ever heardSealed in sacred script of God’s eternal wordThat shines in the darkness to give faith insightTo guide and direct, to rebuke and adviseTo keen our conscience, lest sin blinds our eyesTo reprove excuses for commands we shirkTo train and equip us for every good workTo walk in a manner worthy of the callFrom He who shed his own lifeblood once for allSo, all who believe in Him will never dieSaved from the curse wrought through the serpent’s first lie Here is the best news that this world’s ever heardHope anchored in truth of God’s eternal wordHis counsel to help us to trust and obeyTo guard us from pitfalls on charming displayBecause the law of the Lord is love’s delightAwe’s sweet meditation by day and by nightTo quicken the prayer for bold scorners that laughIn the face of He who will sift them like chaffWhen the day of grace that runs wild through each breathIs severed as life’s silver cord yields to deathAnd it is to late to be suddenly stirredBy salvation’s best news this world’s ever heard © Janet Martin Psalm 1 KJVBlessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
