Are you placing emphasis on what is
truly important, essential for your well-being, and of eternal significance? Is
God and your knowledge of His Word and your subsequent spiritual growth your
priority?
October’s Awakening, Day 28:
Thorough
knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.
-Theodore Roosevelt
The
most learned, acute and diligent student cannot, in the longest life, obtain an
entire knowledge of this one volume. The more deeply he works the mine, the
richer and more abundant he finds the ore; new light continually beams from
this source of heavenly knowledge, to direct the conduct, and illustrate the
work of God and the ways of men; and he will at last leave the world confessing
that the more he studied the Scriptures, the fuller conviction he had of his
own ignorance and of their inestimable value.
-Sir Walter Scott
Words
are powerful and the effects long lasting. With the Word of God, it is even
more profound and eternal. The depth and richness of the nuances of every verse
continue to enlighten and inspire and new revelations manifest on every
reading. These are God’s eternal Words given to us to show us just a glimpse of
His glory. He is unfathomable and His Words carry the ultimate power in the
universe and all creation.
Nothing
cuts to the heart like His Word and nothing is more able to convict us of sin
and bring us to Him. God Himself is there within His Word, alive, fresh, and
new each time, to show us the way, guide our thoughts and actions, and speak to
our hearts to bring us His peace and comfort and joy that can only be found in
Him. Let His Word come alive in your life and let His Spirit entwine eternally
with yours.
