"Turn To GOD's WORD ! "

 

Romans 15:4 "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope."

     How important is the WORD of GOD to you ? What impact has the Bible had on your life ? How often do you turn to the Scriptures to seek comfort or help as you face the issues of life ? In Romans 15:4, the Apostle Paul emphasized the value of the Scriptures, saying of the Old Testament writing, "Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope." He reminded Timothy, his "son in the faith" (1st.Timothy 1:2), of what Timothy had learned as a child at the knee of his Mother and Grandmother: "And that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in CHRIST JESUS" (2nd.Timothy 3:15 pictured above), "All (both Old and New Testament) Scripture is given by inspiration of GOD, and is profitable. . ." (2nd.Timothy 3:16 pictured at top of post), bringing about maturity and the manifestation of good works as the believer feeds upon the WORD of GOD (2nd.Timothy 3:17).

     We should be driven to the WORD over and over again as we face life each day. In the midst of joys and sorrows, struggles and trials, burdens and heavy loads, we find solace, comfort, peace, delight, and rest by spending time in GOD's Holy WORD. Do not give in to despair or depression. GOD is on the throne ! HIS WORD is still "true and righteous altogether" (Psalm 19:9). It is more precious than the purest gold and sweeter than the sweetest of honey (Psalm 19:10). As you feed upon the WORD, may the prayer of David likewise be yours: "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in THY sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer" (Psalm 19:14). JED

Your servant in CHRIST,
