A COPY OF THIS LAW
To become the king of a nation is a heady feeling;
One can be overcome be numerous things.
There is the danger of abuse of authority;
There is also the pride that comes naturally.
The Lord Himself gave very clear instructions;
There must be a careful guarding from temptations.
The heart must not be lifted up in foolish pride;
Being a mighty king must be taken in one’s stride.
A copy of the law of God must be made;
To meditate on it, one must not hesitate.
The Word of God can give much protection;
It would prevent the sin that leads to destruction.
The king must read and seek wisdom from God;
The Scriptures have been provided by the Lord.
The keeping of the Word would bring blessing;
The neglect of the Scripture ends in backsliding!
