Good morning with a word for the day-
Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is living…”
As I lay in bed last night, praying and thinking about the day, the Lord began to flood my mind about His Bible. He asked me a question, “What do you hold between your fingers when you hold my Bible?” He said, “You hold the life of every man that has lived and will live. Not a single soul will live outside the pages of my Bible. The history of the whole of mankind is written within the pages of my Bible. From Genesis 1:1’s opening words, “In the beginning, God created,” to the end of Revelation 22:21, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.” Not a single soul can be or will be added or left out. From Adam to the last human being born is recorded in the pages of my Bible. Some names are recorded and some are not, but no human being is left out. I know them all. I know their names, failures, victories, those things they fall short of, and those things they will overcome. I know them all. My Bible predicts each and everyone’s destiny. They do not know, but I know. No one lives beyond my spoken word. No human being will be created beyond my word. When my word is complete the creation of mankind is complete. No new names, no new human being lives beyond the pages of my Bible. When you hold my Bible you hold life in its completeness. My Bible is a living word because it speaks of man whom I gave life. Beyond my Bible, there is no life.”
I was awakened this morning with a new respect for God’s written word because I know now when my fingers hold His Bible, it truly lives.
