When I woke last night, I sensed the Lord very near
Though I listened closely His voice I could not hear
I looked at the time and wondered what it meant
The book of Romans came to mind so that is where I went

It is not by hearing we are righteous in God’s sight
Only by obeying God do we show Him our delight
The requirements of the law must be written on our heart
Studying God’s Word daily is the place to start

His Words will accuse us or defend us on that day
When the secrets of men’s hearts will be on full display
Faith comes by hearing, but without works it is dead
Study God’s Word daily so you won’t be misled

James 2:26 – “As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.”

Matthew 7:21-23 – “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’”

Romans 2:12– 16
