Good Monday morning! The first weekend without football in several months, oh w.. I'm not going to use that woe word, it is much more serious than a weekend without football. This morning I had to wonder if the psalms were begun with early morning stretching. We seem to ask silly questions at times, alright I seem to ask silly questions at times, but we don't know for sure what the Lord used to trigger the writing of psalms or any other part of the Bible. Some of it may have begun as a journal, some as stories told around the fire in the evening, and some parts because the prophet or writer was specifically told to write it all down. Jeremiah dictated his prophecies more than once, one of the kings of Judah destroyed the first copy because he didn't like what it said. A person could set out to destroy every copy of the Bible in the world, and some have done just that, but the Word of God would live on. Many of us have read the Bible through, some have done it many times; if all the paper copies of God's Word were destroyed by some malevolent government, I suspect that all of us left would immediately begin spouting the Word by mouth, writing, and typing. God's Word cannot be suppressed, the news is simply too good to hold down. Every day a believer is risking a life to spread the Good News, often through copies of the Bible. We need to pray for them, even those we do not know about, so that the Word can spread.
By the way, why should we wait for someone to destroy copies of the Bible? Start spouting the Word now! Listen to the Spirit, read and memorize the Bible verses that touch your heart, and then repeat those words to those around you. Someone needs a pick-em-up word from God's Holy Word today, you may be in a position to start turning them around and away from the lust of the world. Use the unstoppable and powerful Word of God!
Have a great and faithful work week!
