WHICH ARE YOU CLOSER TO?
Which are you closer to
Your Bible or your phone
Much attention to beeps
From messages and calls
Hurriedly you would read
The Bible if at all
Please answer the question
Which are you close to
Always we will check up
When leaving home at morn
Hope I’ve not forgotten
To take my phone along
Rarely we’ll leave our phones
We wouldn’t miss our calls
The battery must be charged
And our lines reachable
We take our phones to church
So we can charge them there
At home there is no light
Our batteries can’t be low
Sometimes we’ll pick our calls
Distract the service too
Some will do their chatting
Right there in God’s own house
My phone has my Bible
And so I read it there
But while you are reading
You hear a message beep
Let me check the message
Could be an urgent one
Then you leave the Bible
And your time with the Lord
By the phone distracted
The Bible gets sidelined
But when you remember
It’s time for something else
No more time for reading
No time to meditate
Which are you closer to
Your Bible or your phone
Quick to share the message
We receive on our phones
Either true or an hoax
We care not but forward
But to share the Bible
With our neighbours and friends
Seems not very easy
My friend we do not well
With the social media
And messages that ‘fly’
Facebook Twitter WhatsApp
Have taken all our time
Less time for the Bible
But much time for the apps
Christian are you guilty
Of preference for your phone
Some will dare to sleep late
Chatting with friends on phone
Sometimes watching videos
But no time for the word
We wake up at midnight
To check for messages
Not to read the Bible
No not for prayers too
The time spent on your phone
And that with your Bible
Which is pretty higher
Assess yourself and see
Which are you closer to
Your Bible or your phone
Make amends as needed
Make good use of your time
Spend more time with Jesus
Meditate on His word
Allow no distractions
From things that pass away
Moderate all your actions
Spend more time on the word
Get close to your Bible
Get closer to the Lord
