2 Timothy 3:15-17

2 Timothy 3:15-17
 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Sonnet 769 2 Timothy 3:15-17

If Twitterland and Instant Messageville
Is where you live each minute of the day
With brevity, the all consuming skill
Is that enough to help you on your way?

Or maybe you have earbuds locked in place
With lists of songs you simply have to play
So melody and rhythm fill your space
Is that enough to help you on your way?

But if you make a quiet time for God
A time to read from scripture every day
To be corrected, taught and even awed
Is that enough to help you on your way?

The wisdom of your Maker, I would say
Can't be discovered any better way.
