The Amazing Book

"Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." (Ps. 119:105)

God's Word, the Bible, is the most amazing book in the world! It tells the history of our existence. It tells of His awesome works in and for the hearts of mankind. It teaches us how to know the God of the universe and how we can commune with Him here on earth and how we can live with Him forever - and the wonder of that place - Heaven. It tells us of His everlasting unconditional love for us and His plan of salvation from sin. IT tells us of the dreadful days ahead and his deliverance out of those days and their circumstances. It is full of promises to us to live this life here and gives us spiritual gifts to share with others of God's children, the least, the lost and the unloved.

"For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power (making it active, operative, energizing, and effective); it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and the immortal spirit, and of joints and marrow of the deepest parts of our nature, exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.: (Heb.4:12, Amp.).

God created all creation and maintains it by the "Word of His power" (Heb.1:3) - and in Genesis 1, "God said" (vs.3,6, 9,11, 14, 20, 24, 26.

Psalms 107:20 says, "God sent forth His Word (Jesus) and heals us (spirit, soul and body), - (the Hebrew says, "to mend, to cure, to make whole.")

We exists by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." (Mt.4:4; Deut.8:3). If we hide Its words in our heart we will not sin against God (Ps.119:11. God's Word is pure, (Ps.119:140); His Word is Truth (Ps. 119:160); "God has exalted His Word above all things, even His name." (Ps.138:2).

We are to study the Word to show ourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the word of Truth (II Tim.2:15). It feeds our spirit; if we obey It, It will keep us from sin; It heals us; It heals us; we and all creation are kept by the Word of His power; It satisfies our hunger and thirst; It shines light on our path and guides us through dark valley.

As a young teenager I learned to read and meditate on God's Word and by reading, studying meditating and obeying the Word of God, It has caused me to miss many pitfalls, led me through many dark valleys, and has led me to wonderful mountain-tops where I enjoy the Truth of His Word and because I believe Its words I have hope for now and the future. "It's the real thing!"

I value This Book above all things on earth and although I now know just in part, I will then in heaven have all my questions about God and His Word answered. I am sure I will spend a lot of time saying, Ohhhhh! I trust this Book because I trust the Author!

"Heaven and earth may pass away but His words (the Word) shall not pass away (Mark 13:31; I Pet.1:24-25).
