Throughout the Old Testament God routinely spoke to people. In these 39 books he gave them instructions, and promises with conditions. Some people understood what He was saying others didnt. Some tried to live by it with varying degrees of success, while others rejected it and decided to do their own thing. Then God did something truly incredible: The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind of glory, like Father, like Son, generous inside and out, true from start to finish (John 1:14). Jesus was a Living Bible! John tells us, The Word was God (John 1:1), so the more you get into the Word and get it into you, the more of God youre depositing within you. You say, But sometimes I dont get much out of reading the Bible. A word to the wise: When you start studying the Bible, dont do it to find some new truth nobody else has ever seen. Do it with the attitude, Lord, what are You saying to me? The problem most of us have isnt interpreting the difficult passages; its obeying the ones we already understand! The Word of God provides you with two things: (1) Protection. The Psalmist said, Unless your law had been my delight, I would then have perished in my affliction. I will never forget your percepts, for by them You have given me life (Psalms119:92-93). (2) Direction. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalms 119:105). Need directions? Need protection? Get into Gods Word. The word became flesh and dwelt among us. (John 1:14) Lisa
