The Word of God was, is, and will
continue to be. Are you letting it speak to you?
October’s Awakening, Day 29:
Approach the Bible not only as a book which was once
spoken, but a book which is now speaking.
-A. W. Tozer
He
who is but a casual reader of the Bible, does not know the height, the depth,
the length and breadth of the mighty meanings contained in its pages.
There
are certain times when I discover a new vein of thought, and I put my hand to
my head and say in astonishment, "Oh, it is wonderful I never saw this
before in the Scriptures."
You
will find the Scriptures enlarge as you enter them; the more you study them the
less you will appear to know of them, for they widen out as we approach them.
Especially will you find this the case with the "typical" parts of
God's Word. Most of the historical bools were intended to be types either of
dispensations, or experiences, or offices of Jesus Christ.
Study
the Bible with this as a key. One of the most interesting points of the
Scriptures is their constant tendency to display Christ.
-C. H. Spurgeon
“Do
not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come
to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and
earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will
by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Matthew
5:17,18 NIV
Heaven
and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. Matthew
24:35 NIV
God’s
Word is eternal, written by the finger of God and through chosen human vessels
inspired by the Holy Spirit. Regardless of what the world may think, it
transcends time and all generations and speaks into the hearts and minds of all
who read it, and it will continue to do so into eternity. It will not go away.
Don’t you think something as significant as the Bible should be read, studied,
and meditated on regularly to learn and follow its immense spiritual truths?
