Sunday in God's word

Jeremiah 33:2-3 This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it = the Lord is his name: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."


In Old Testament times, God's word was being revealed to his prophets like Jeremiah and Isaiah.  Some things were written, but most wisdom from God came through those that He chose to reveal himself to.  The promises were great and direct.  The Lord will show you truth you cannot imagine!


Today, we are in a much more enviable position.  God's word has been revealed and completely written down.  We can access 100 versions of the Bible on the internet.  We can see what men and women think about every verse in the bible.  We can even see what our friends think about the Bible on Facebook.

But, as great as all these tools are, here's the thing.  God wants to tell you what His word means to your life.  That only comes through reading, praying, and meditating over His word.  Call to Him, and He will answer.  Come close to Him, and He will come close to you.  Ask him to guide you through His word and He will guide you.  However, remember this.  A Christian who never spends time in God's word, is like a golfer who only swings the clubs on a Wii game.  It's not real, and it gives you a sense of false confidence that you can do the real thing.  So, get in the game, and play the game with a Bible close by.


Today is the Lord's day.  May it be special to you.
