 The Anvil Of God's Word



Last night I passed beside the blacksmith's door
And heard the anvil ring the evening chime;
And looking in, I saw upon the floor,
Old hammers bruised by beating years of time.

"How many anvils have you had?" said I,
"To bruise and batter all these hammers so?"
"Just one," he said, and then with twinkling eye,
"The anvil wears the hammers out, you know?"

And so, I thought, the anvil of God's Word,
For ages skeptics' blows have beat upon,
And though the noise of clanging blows is heard,
The Anvil is unharmed - the hammers gone."


- Author unknown

(found in an old book entitled "Dew From Heaven")

 Re: The Anvil Of God's Word

Is not my word like a fire saith the Lord and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? Jer23:29.
Spurgeon said something very similar to the poem, and this text reversed it's analogy but its effect is the same...God's word is victorious over its adversaries and strong in the hand of God to break down all the devices of men.
