“Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.”Psalm 119:105
It is complete, fulfilled, and true. It is full of promises, life, hope, healing, love, comfort, peace, and tells us our future. It is God-breathed!
Number 4 on our list of things to crave-His Word
It is our manual to everything life throws at us. It is where we can find adventure, love, security, excitement, and hope. It is the book that leads to life. It gives us our boundaries; it teaches us, it shows us how to love and be loved.
It is full of living power! “…It is sharper than the sharpest knife, cutting deep into our innermost thoughts and desires. It exposes us for what we really are.” Hebrews 4:12
When we crave the Word of God, we crave to be changed, shaped, and molded to Christ. When we place the Word within us, it becomes our source of light in this world of darkness. We will never grow, learn to love, learn to forgive, or learn about Jesus if we do not open His Word.
It was left here for us so we could receive salvation and walk in the ways of the Lord. It was left to instruct and show us how amazing our Savior is.
If you are searching to fill a void stop searching the world and start searching the Word! If you are walking in darkness, stumbling around stubbing your toe, grab the Word open it up and let the light in.
If you are lacking intimacy, affection, and love, open the book and read the love letters left for you. If you are sick open the Word and receive the medicine of healing. If you are hurt, angry, or bitter open the Word and let love, compassion and forgiveness consume you. If you are weak open the Word and you will find strength.
The Word of the Lord, there is nothing greater than the Word of the Lord. It is the very thing we should cling to. It should be the first thing we focus our eyes on in the morning. It should be the book we can’t wait to dive into.
My brothers and sisters please seek His Word; let it be all that you hunger for!
Prayer: Jesus there is nothing sweeter than Your Word. May we hunger and thirst for the love, adventure, healing, and hope that it has to offer. In Jesus name, Amen
