Today’s Scripture

“God means what He says. What He says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one is impervious to God’s Word. We can’t get away from it – no matter what.” (Hebrews 4:12-13 The Message)

Today’s Thought

I recall reading where missionary, Dr. David Livingstone, started his trek across Africa. He had 73 books in 3 packs, weighing 180 pounds. After the party had gone 300 miles, Livingstone was obliged to throw away some of the books because of the fatigue of those carrying his baggage. As he continued on his journey his library grew less and less, until he had but one book left – his Bible.

God has not left us in the dark. He has given to us His Word that lights the darkest night and gives hope in the bleakest circumstance.

It is through God’s Word that He directs us, challenges us, warns us, comforts us and assures us that He is working on our behalf. The Holy Bible is more than just wise sayings and wonderful stories. The Holy Bible is God’s love letter to us. It is through the scriptures that our heart is able to get in sync with God’s heart.

You may be facing a difficult time today and you need a now word from God. A word that will lift your spirit and give you the strength to tackle a new day. There is only one book that reveals the nature of God and His ways and that one book is the Holy Bible. It is the compass for your spiritual journey.
