Reading: Psalm 119:105, [God’s] word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
To walk safely in the woods at night we need a light so we don’t trip over roots or fall into holes. We live in a dark world with a lot of holes. God’s desire is for us to have our feet planted. The bible is a light to show our way. It is resilient. No one can stop it.
In 1778, the French skeptic Voltaire, a respected man of his time, predicted that within 100 years of his time “Christians would be non-existent”. 50 years later to the day the “Geneva Bible Society” used his house and printing press to produce thousands of Bibles.
God’s Word is alive. In John 6:63, Jesus said, “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
When God speaks, things change.
God’s Word generates life, creates faith, produces change, frightens the devil, causes miracles, heals hurts, builds character, transforms circumstances, imparts joy, overcomes adversity, defeats temptation, influences hope, releases power, cleanses our minds, bring things into being, guarantees our future.
Be a man of the Word!
How will you be a man of the Word today?
Okay, that’s nice… now, let’s be really specific. This is the Word of God we’re talking about. How will you be a man of the Word today?
REVIEW
