God Speaks

I've been thinking about all the people who have so much to say about God...both present day and those in the Bible. I figured it had been quite a while since I had actually read through what He himself has actually said. I mean, really...we have access to His ACTUAL WORDS...and when was the last time I really paid attention and studied those words?

So. I committed to reading the book fo John who, instead of focusing on "events," mulled over the profound meaning of what The Word said and did.

Ah yes. Jesus Christ. The WORD. God's voice. A little girl once said, "Jesus is all God wanted to say to us." The WORD, God, became flesh and made His dwelling among us. Whew.

God spoke to us. He spoke. We have His words right in front of us. If you spend any amount of time meditating on that...it totally blows your mind. We have in this book called, The Bible, written down in black and white, HIS words.

What better place to look to see who this God is, learn about His character, and His plan for us? I encourage you as we move into our celebration of the birth of His WORD...to read John meditating and digesting each and every WORD...ingest it and let it grow from the inside out.

Blessings.

PSALM 13

How long, O Lord?
Will you forget me forever?

How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?

Look on me and answer, O Lord my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

BUT, I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
for He has been good to me.

For those who are crushed in the spirit...though King David wrestled with God, he determined that he would trust and praise the Lord. In praise there is freedom. Begin today...perhaps your heart isn't in it...but soon you will find that it will be.
