The Daily Nugget- Trust In The Word

Hi All

All good relationships are based on communication,taking time to speak and to listen to each other and our relationship with God is no different. We speak to Him through prayer and He speaks to us through His word.

Reading and studying the Bible is a basic requirement for the Christian’s growth,but if we want it to have a real impact in changing our lives we must make it part of our daily routine, as His word gives us all the answers and guidance we need, it remains true and is always relevant.This is emphasised in the book of Timothy where we read:-“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work”.(2 Timothy 3:16-17).When we invest time into studying the Bible and spend time with God each day our return on that investment is always one hundred percent! 

Be Blessed and Encouraged

Trust The Word

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.   (Romans 10:17)

19 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.   20 He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destruction. 

(Psalm 107:19-20)

In the famous and epic movie The Ten Commandments, whenever Pharaoh would make a decision or issue an official proclamation, he would say with power and authority “So let it be written; so let it be done!”The royal scribes would then record the Pharaoh’s words for future generations to appreciate and learn from.The message was clear:- Pharaoh’s words were powerful; they were the guiding force in Egypt.

In an even more commanding way, the words of God are alive and powerful (Hebrews 4:12). By His words, God spoke into existence the earth and everything in it. Jesus is called the Word of God,the incarnation of the will and words of God (John 1:1-2). And Peter says that by God’s words,His “great and precious promises”,we become “partakers of the divine nature” (2 Peter 1:4).In the book of Romans Paul writes that our faith comes by hearing “the word of God”(Romans 10:17).

We gain power and maturity in our spiritual life as the Spirit of God lights up the Word of God everyday so we may learn from it and grow in spiritual maturity. All believers should make God’s Word a priority in their  life.The study of God’s Word for the purpose of discovering God’s will is the secret discipline which has formed the greatest characters. As the great preacher Charles Spurgeon once said:-“I hold one single sentence out of God’s word to be of more certainty, and of more power, than all the discoveries of all the learned men of all the ages”.
