THE WORD OF GOD

For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. - Psalm 119: 89 KJV

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. - Matthew 24: 35 KJV

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. - Psalm 89: 34 KJV

There are many other verses that assure us of the authority and the finality of the Word of God, not just these three. The Word of God is pure, it is infallible, it is truth, it never changes and it is eternal. It is forever settled in heaven.

The Word of God is life, when we pay attention to what God is saying to us, we are partaking of His life. Let us not be indifferent when it comes to getting the Word of God into our hearts and with all the technology available to us today, there’s no reason why we cannot saturate our minds with the Word. Let’s take advantage of the myriad of resources available to us like the online audio Bibles which come in many different versions and languages. Today, anyone can listen to the Word while doing other things online. The writer of Proverbs under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit penned these profound truths:

20 My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.
21 Do not let them depart from your eyes;

Keep them in the midst of your heart;
22 For they are life to those who find them,
And health to all their flesh. – Proverbs 4:20-22 NKJV

Jesus is the Word that became flesh, He is the Word that was from the beginning, He is the Living Word; the Living Word is God (John 1:1) The Word also tells us that Jesus, the Living Word became flesh and dwelt among us and in Him was life and that life was the light of men(John 1:4); no wonder the Psalmist made this inspired observation:

130 The entrance of Your words gives light;
It gives understanding to the simple. – Psalm 119:130 NKJV

The more of the Word you absorb into your heart, the more light you will have in you, that is your understanding will be enlightened, you will be filled with His wisdom. The Word of God imparts life; didn't Jesus also say that His words are spirit and life? (John 6:63)

Rest assured, what God has said in His Word will come to pass, more specifically what He has promised YOU in His Word, He will bring to pass, trust Him. For no matter how many promises God has made, they are all "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. (2 Corinthians 1:20) This truth alone should motivate us to read and study our Bibles to find out what these "many promises God has made" are so we can begin to claim them and enjoy them. So whatever need you are facing today, be it provision, protection, healing etc. there is a promise of provision for you from your loving Heavenly Father in His Word.

As we spend time in the Word, may the Holy Spirit illuminate it by opening our eyes to see, know and experience the Author of the Word – God! The Father holds His Word – Jesus – in high esteem, we should too.  

You have magnified Your word above all Your name!Psalms 138:2 AMP

I pray the Holy Spirit will whet your appetite for the Word and then satisfy it as you immerse yourself in it.

Much blessings to you beloved!
