God is really camping us out in this place, and I think there’s a very important message He wants to bring to us. We’ve been talking lately about “Let There Be Light” and the power of the Name of Jesus, who is the Word of God.
And that’s what I feel God wants to bring to our attention today. The WORD of God.
Our Christian walk is not easy, and there are trials that we go through that bring us to our knees. I was in one such trial that was one of the most difficult of my life. It was a place of deep betrayal, false accusations, and pain beyond words. It was all I could do to hold onto the hem of Jesus’ garment and trust He had a special plan and a purpose in it all.
I remember being in a place where my mind was wracked with hurt. I would lay in bed angry and upset every morning in total dismay. And it was taking me over. But the Word.
The Word of God is light and LIFE. No man comes to the Father except through His Word, Jesus, and the power of the written word, the Bible. It is the Bread of Life.
God reminded me that Jesus purifies our minds through the washing of the word (Ephesians 5:26). And so I began to read His word. A lot. I didn’t worry about a deep study, I just read chapter after chapter to let the Word of God wash over me. And wouldn’t you know it, that TOTALLY revived me, washed away the trauma, and launched me into a place that’s deeper now than I was before.
So if there’s anything you’re experiencing right now, where darkness has stolen your peace, read the Word of God! It truly is Light and Life, and it will restore your soul!
