Analysis of The Word



Quick and immediate is the Word of God,
indivisible, One,
It builds, creates and protects,
It crushes sickness and death.

Logos, living force, it explodes,
and penetrates marrow and joints,
It opens the eyes, gives legs to the lame,
It holds all things in Its hand.

The Word is a shield to soldiers in war,
they speak the 91-st Psalm,
and those who abide
in the "secret  place of the most High",
angels are surrounded by.

The Word searches deep things of God,
dividing spirit and soul,
freely given to His beloved ones,
awakening to this hour's call.
