Stop for a moment and think about
how great our God is. He created all that eye can see (Genesis 1:1), there is
none greater than He (Psalm 77:13), and He is all powerful (Exodus 15:6).
Our Great, Powerful, Almighty,
Holy, Perfect, Righteous, Creator God created something for each of His
children to have: something that we can hold in our hands, something that we
can understand, and something that will greatly help us. It is just another one
of God’s wonderful gifts to us – and yet, how often do we throw it aside? How
often do we view it as “boring?” How often do we view something else as more important?
This gift is God’s Word – the
Holy Bible.
{following emphasis added}
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” (2
Timothy 3:16-17)
“According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness,
through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby
are given unto us exceeding
great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine
nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
(2 Peter 1:3-4)
“For whatsoever things were
written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and
comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.” (Romans 15:4)
God knew that we needed this gift,
or else He would not have given it. But do we see that we need it?
Today, stop and reconsider how you treasure God’s Word. Is it special
to you? If it is special to you, how
often do you read it? Memorize it? Talk of it?
