For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. -Psalms 33:4 NIV
The word of God is the seed. Every seed has in itself a germinating principle. In it the life of the plant is enfolded. So there is life in God’s word. Christ says, “The words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63. “He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life.” John 5:24. In every command and in every promise of the word of God is the power, the very life of God, by which the command may be fulfilled and the promise realized. He who by faith receives the word is receiving the very life and character of God. {CSA 19.9}
Every seed brings forth fruit after its kind. Sow the seed under right conditions, and it will develop its own life in the plant. Receive into the soul by faith the incorruptible seed of the word, and it will bring forth a character and a life after the similitude of the character and the life of God. 38 {CSA 20.1}
Philosophical theories or literary essays, however brilliant, cannot satisfy the heart. The assertions and inventions of men are of no value. Let the word of God speak to the people. Let those who have heard only traditions and human theories and maxims hear the voice of Him whose word can renew the soul unto everlasting life. 39 {CSA 20.2}
Heart Questions: Are you sowing the seed (the Word of God) to those who you come in contact with? Are you receiving by faith the word of God? Remember there is power in the word of God and the very life of God is in His Words.
- Pray that we will daily feed upon the word of God.
- Pray that as we meditate on God’s word will believe and receive the power that the word unfolds to us.
- Pray that we will not only be hearers of the word but doers also.
