The Word - August 5, 2008

Good morning in Christ Jesus! We are up and ready to begin the new day. I do believe that allergy season is in full swing around these parts; the sudden increase in sneeze attacks is what tipped me off. The signs may be subtle, but I pick up on them eventually. Speaking of signs, do you ponder on the Bible as a whole from time to time? The world would have us believe that something is lost with each Bible translation, that words in the ancient tongues do not translate well to the present. The problem with that is in forgetting, or not believing, whose word the Bible is. If you believe in God, then you have no problem believing that God guides each and every faith-based translation of the Bible texts. Each version says exactly what God wants it to say. If you do not believe in God, then of course you will be able to find all manner of excuses, sorry, evidence, that the words are not exactly right. If a person chooses not to believe then it will not matter what the Word says, for it will not speak to the heart as it does to a believer. However, with faith and belief in Jesus comes a wealth of life changing Word from God himself. How we do love the Word of God, both in the flesh as Jesus of Nazareth, and in the printed form in our Bibles. The Bible, bestseller and words from the Comforter, a Christian's hope and crutch in the time of need, and a powerful sword of truth in the hands of those who will believe. Do not doubt or deny the power of the Word. Love and cherish Him who spoke the Word.

Thank you Lord for your holy Word on this wonderful day.
