One reason why I love the church is because there is a strong passion for this book; the Bible.
This book is filled with God's words whispered to humanity. The Apostle Paul writes, "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, sot hat the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
This book is God-breathed. It breathes life into everyman. Just like in the beginning when God breathed life into Adam, He breathes life into our soul through these words.
When was the last time we took the time to read these words? Really read these words and learn who God is, what God has done and what He desires to do in our lives. For some of us, we get too busy with everyday things that we lose sight of this book and the power it contains to help us live a great life. For some of us, we get too confused and we lose motivation in digging for the truth that isn't that far under the surface. And the great thing about this book, the more you dig the more you find. It marvels us.
We presently enjoy the freedoms in reading this book at any time, anywhere. Are you taking advantage of those freedoms?
Paul and Silas traveled to a town called, Berea, in order to teach them about the scriptures. And they made sure that what Paul was teaching was correct. Read about it in Acts 17:10-12 or click to view http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+17%3A10-12&version=NIV (Click back arrow on web browser to return).
They examined the scriptures every day. Could I be that passionate for God's words? I hope this year I will be even more passionate for His life giving words. How about you?
As you close: Thank God for His words. They were written down and preserved for you to be able to be read on your own. Thank God for the ability to read and the ability to read His words in your language. Because there are many who don't have His words in their language.
God Bless!
