SCRIPTURE: John (NIV) 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beg beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men…. 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
OBSERVATION: God anointed men throughout the ages to write the scriptures which we call the Bible, the written Word of God. From the verses above we understand that Jesus is the true Word, the living Word of God. Throughout history we can find people who valued the Bible. They protected it. They hid it, They translated it. They printed it. They shared it. They wanted everyone to have it. How valuable is the written Word of God!
In my understanding, there is only One Thing Greater than the written word of God—the LIVING WORD OF GOD! To
APPLICATION: To have a Bible, the written Word of God, or even to have a portion of it and not to read it, and meditate on it, and pray over it. What a tragedy. To miss out on the wisdom and encouragement, and comfort available is such a loss.
But an even greater loss would be to have the LIVING WORD OF GOD living in my heart and not to talk with Him, not to seek His wisdom, not to develop and maintain a continual relationship with this lover of my soul…there could be no greater loss in all of eternity!
PRAYER: Lord, what a blessing, what a fellowship to have you share this life with me! You walk with me and you talk with me, and you tell me that you are my God and that I belong to you! I am blest beyond measure. When I do not have a Bible, I am never without your presence! You are always with me! Amen
