"And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe."
-I Thessalonians 2:13 (NIV)
-I Thessalonians 2:13 (NIV)
We hear and see words all the time. Whether watching TV; reading a magazine, newspaper, text messages, e-mails, or signs; talking to another person; or listening to the radio. Some words may stick with us for a while, but most are forgotten in the buzz of our everyday lives.
Even though we forget many of the words we see and hear, there are some words that serve us well when remembered and kept in our hearts. Paul reminds us that some words are not to be accepted as human words, but as the word of God (I Thessalonians 2:13). When we take time to read the Bible or listen to scripture and sermons based on scripture, we need to remember that the words we are reading or hearing are more important to our lives than any human word - spoken or written. These words from God can change our lives!
The word of God is unlike any human word! Take time to dig deep into His word and allow yourself to be transformed by God's word!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for providing me with Your Word as a guide for my life. Please help me to truly understand Your Word and its meaning and application to my life. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
