You Have My Word On That

 

But He said,

"Blessed rather are those

who hear the Word of God

     and keep it."

            Luke 11. 28

If we listen to the Scriptures,

respond to them, pursue God's Word, 

marinate in it, and engage with it,

    our lives cannot help but be

    changed.

What we do and what we say,

   how we love, and how we pray,

          are transformed..

And the world is renewed

      God's Word living in us.

These are not just words

   printed on a page

   or appearing on a screen,

but the very words of God.

Do we listen, read,

  and acknowledge them as that?

O LORD,

You have given us Your Word

   to show us Who You are,

how to live,

and how we are so loved.

Thank You for the scriptures

   that we can know You more,

day by day,

word by word.

Awaken us,

transform us even today,

   as we are embraced

   by Your living Word.
