Thoughts for Cheri:
March 4, 2004
“I feel so odd right now. I feel like God is about to reveal something to me. Pat gave me Jeremiah 3:33 to help me when I was down Monday. I’m memorizing it today and ever since I’ve been going over it I’ve just felt like God is telling me something.”
My first
thought when I read this is: I love God’s
word. I love how it speaks to whatever
is going on in my life at a given moment.
I love how the underlying message of God’s love, grace, peace, mercy,
and hope never changes. I love how every
page points to the Messiah, Jesus Christ who scripture tells us is The Word. I just love God’s word!
Jesus is the
Word made flesh. By His life, death, and
resurrection He revealed the Father to a dying world. Today scripture continues to reveal Him to a
still dying world. Please if you don’t
know Him, seek Him in the pages of a Bible.
He will be found if you seek.
Throughout my
life God has used His word to guide, convict, teach, comfort, encourage, and
just enable me to live life. God’s word
is not stagnant. As the writer of
Hebrews says:
The verse I was
memorizing this particular week still speaks to me today.
This is truly a beautiful
promise from God which has proven to be true over and over again in my
life. I’ve called to Him in desperation,
in sorrow, in repentance, in joy, in seeking, in praise, and in many other ways
and He’s always answered. Maybe not in
my time or in the way I desired but always in the right time and best way for
me. Through His word He’s revealed “great
and mighty things” especially the power and majesty of Jesus Christ and the
faith that sustains me as I walk through valleys and on mountaintops. He’s amazing!
God’s word is a
gift to all of humankind. Unfortunately
it’s a gift too few have chosen to unwrap, even those who profess to be
Christians. Don’t allow someone else to
tell you what God’s word says. Spend time
reading it and allow God Himself through His Holy Spirit to reveal the message
He has for you. You will not regret it. It will change your life.
Father,
You so graciously
revealed Your word to men so it could be shared with all of us.
Your word speaks to
the hearts and minds of all who open their eyes and ears to see and hear.
Thank You for The Word Who became flesh so we could know You!
In His Name,
Amen
