The Word of God: A Reflection

As you’re already aware, the Word is powerful. It changes lives, heals the broken, and guides the lost. Had it not been God’s Word, I wouldn’t know where I would be.

Hebrews 4:12 tells us that God’s Word is sharper than any sword. It cuts through lies, confusion, and fear.

The Word shows us the right way to live.

It helps us see sin and turn back to God.

It comforts us when we are sad and gives hope when we feel weak.

Many people in the Bible trusted the Word of God. David said in Psalm 119:105,

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

This means that God`s Word shows us where to walk and what to avoid. Without it, we walk in darkness.

The Word of God is strong. It does not change. Heaven and earth may pass away, but God’s Word remains forever.

When we read and obey it, our lives change. We become wiser and stronger in faith. It is not enough to hear it only on Sunday. We must read and study the Word of God daily. That is how we grow.

Just like Joshua was told in Joshua 1:8,

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
