The most repeated question by Jesus during His ministry was this, "Have you never read?".
Underneath that simple question is a life-altering implication. You should read the word of God. That's why Jesus also says, "man does not live on bread alone but on every word that proceeds from the mouth of God".
And Jesus knows that there is a spiritual hunger inside of every human heart, that can only be satisfied by consuming the words of God.
Christian, give yourself to the word of God. The word of God is...
- a rock, strong and steady. It doesn't budge, break or crumble under pressure.
- an anchor in the storm, keeping us calm when everything around us is chaotic.
- a mirror showing us who we really are. You don't jus read the word of God. It reads you.
- a treasure beautiful in every dimension and worth every effort of discovery. It brings endless joy and eternal riches to all who find it.
- a fire spreading across the world to bring heat and light.
- a river bringing life and power to everything it touches.
- a seed planted deep inside of our hearts producing the fruit of holiness and righteousness.
- a sword dividing true and false, right and wrong, good and evil.
- a hammer crushing what needs to be crushed and breaking what needs to be broken.
- a lamp to our feet and a light to show us our path.
So, let the voice of God be the first, the last and the loudest voice in your ear today, tomorrow and for the rest of your life. Give yourself to the word of God.
Sanctify them by the truth, your word is truth - John 17:17.
