Opinion Pole

 

Without God’s Word I think the soul
Would be a big opinion pole
No law of love to temper ire
Or tame the wild flames of desire
No example of Self denied
To rebuke mortal’s stubborn pride
No image of love’s nail-scarred grace
To set us in our humble place
No wisdom, better far than gold
No vast depth of riches untold
No sin to earnestly confess
No higher call than happiness
No Christ-keen conscience thus to heed
No faith that God supplies our need
No trustworthy compass to guide
No Presence to comfort or chide
Without God’s Word the deathless soul
Is a sad, lost opinion pole

Romans 11:33
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! 
How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!
