Word of God

Proverbs 2:1-5, "My child, listen to what I say, and treasure my commands. Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures. Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain knowledge of God" (NLT). I am convinced that God is calling the church to re-acquaint ourselves with the Word of God. The writer in Hebrews 4 reminds us that the Word of God is alive and powerful; the Word of God allows us to discover the truth concerning God and it also reveals the heart of God that is turned toward fallen mankind. The Word of God allows us to see the actions of God concerning the needs of previous generations. These actions afford us the opportunity to see God at work in the hearts of His creation. These actions reveal the care, concern, and compassion that God releases in various circumstances. These actions reveal the promises of God on which we build our hope and faith for our relationship with God. Our faith is built on the fact that we have received the Word of God in our hearts and this Word has given us confidence to trust God in all that we are facing at any particular moment. The Word of God reveals the character of God which confirms that He is a God of Love and that He is interested in our redemption from the snares of the enemy. Many of us commit to other works of literature; don't you think it is time to commit to reading the Word of God? Let this be a day that you begin a new journey with God and discover the powerful principles of truth and love that are revealed in His Word. The Word of God will reveal the understanding that we need to make the critical decisions in life that we will face. Enjoy finding God in His Word!
