1 Peter 1:23 (NIV)
23 For you have been born again, not of perishable
seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
The Word of God is living and enduring. I love the Word of
God!
As I read, meditate, and study God’s Word, I am learning
more about the love of Christ, His transforming power, and the Holy Spirit’s
conviction. I pray, “Lord, change me through Your Word. Bring correction,
healing, and truth to my life.” Peter describes our experience as born again,
not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring
Word of God. (I Peter 1:23)
Did you know that the Word of God goes out and never returns
empty?
When God’s Word is spoken, read and received, it will always
accomplish a purpose in your life: …so is my word that goes out from my mouth;
it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve
the purpose for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11) We are often careless with our
words – perhaps offering to call or pray for someone but not following through.
Our words may not always find fulfillment of purpose, but God’s Word will
always be fulfilled.
Paul understood the significance of God’s Word and
admonished the early Christian believers to allow the Word of God to dwell
richly within them.
(Colossians 3:16) Try taking a scripture passage each day
and meditate on it all day long. God’s Word, when planted in the fertile soil
of our hearts, will always bear fruit.
Thought for today:
How much emphasis to I put on the word, words I speak/read?
