“He Has said.”
Hebrews 13:5
Yes, we have voices all around us
There is constant chatter
There’s babble
There’s chit chat
There’s prattle
There’s jabber
But there’s only one thing we need to wrap are head around
There’s just one thing we need to grasp
It is God’s Word!
These are the words of faith,
His Word is an all-conquering weapon in our hand.
Every doubt can be slain by this two-edged sword?
Every fear falls smitten with a deadly wound from the power of God’s Word
The distresses of life & the pangs of death;
The corruptions within & the snares without;
The trials from above & the temptations from beneath,
They are all but light afflictions, when we can hide ourselves beneath the bulwark of:
“He has said”!!!
Yes; God’s Word is our strength in every conflict,
This is our daily resort.
How can we ever be bored with each Word that comes from Jesus lips to our heart?
There are promises in His Word
They are individualized to us
They are alive in His Spirit
They exactly fit our specific challenges,
He is our comforter.
He is our counselor.
He is our strength.
He is who we love & every word from His mouth is sweet to our taste.
His Word changes us.
His Word makes us wise.
His Words are pure.
His Words are better then all the treasures of billionaires & trillionaires.
His Word opens our dungeon
His Word let’s us walk free,
His Word is our potent medicine from His great pharmacopoeia of Scripture,
His Word is the only cure for our sicknesses & malaise
This is all we need
“He has said.”
We need to be reading the Bible,
We need to store His Word in our memories
We need to fill our hearts & minds with all the richness of God’s amazing promises
We need to treasure His poetry;
We need to gather in every phrase of it’s profound knowledge & wise insights
This is the source of all wisdom,
This is the fountain of all comfort,
Let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly,
His Word is “A well of water, springing up unto everlasting life.”
This is where we grow healthy,
This is where we become strong,
This is where we burst out with speechless joy
This is where we are filled up for worship
This is what swells our heart in adoration for Jesus
In His powerful creative voice!
