God's Word - Hearing It, Receiving It, Loving It & Obeying It

6/12/2010

0 Comments

 
One of the ways we encounter God is by hearing, and receiving and loving and obeying His Word - which is truth (John 17:17).  There is no variableness or shadow of turning with God (James 1:17) or with His Word, because God and His Word are one (John 1:1, 10:30), just as we are one with our words.  

The truth or reality of God's Word may not be reflected in every situation of our lives, but IT IS the truth and IT IS the highest form of reality.  So how do we make God's reality our reality?  By hearing it and receiving it and loving it and obeying it. 

Do something with me.  Go get your Bible and hold it up in the air and say this out loud: 

This is my Bible. It is the Word of God, which is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. It is not man’s opinion. It is not man’s tradition. It is not subject to debate. God said it. That settles it.

I am what it says I am. I am not defined by what I struggle with, my circumstances, or by what others think or say about me. I am only defined by what God says about me in His Holy Word.

I can do what His Word says I can do. I can have what His Word says I can have. This is God’s Word and He’s speaking directly to me.

Jesus, I believe in Your love for me. I trust You completely and absolutely. Now please use my life for Your glory.

In Jesus name. Amen!

Now go be who you were called to be!

    About the Author
    Helen B. Marshall

    When I was 19 years old I was at a garage sale and found a wooden plaque with a sail boat carved on it with Jeremiah 29:13 and the first part of verse 14 written on it which said, "And ye shall seek Me and find Me when ye shall search for Me with all your heart..."

    I can still remember how I felt reading this verse for the first time.  The concept of finding God intrigued me.  I just didn’t understand why He would require so much of me or anyone else for that matter, simply to find Him.

    So I bought the plaque and placed it in a prominent place every where I lived, in my college dorm room, my first apartment, and each successive apartment, my first home. 

    Finally, 11 years later, when I was 30, I embarked on a whole-hearted journey to find out what this verse meant - the seeking and the searching for a God who was willing to be found.  Little did I know how this verse would dramatically impact and forever change my life.

    It is now 37 years later and I'm still seeking and searching for Him with my whole heart.  I have to tell you, I have loved and hold dear everything I have found!

    This blog is about the depth and the width and the length and the height of my journey into Christ and how I’ve been found by Him. I believe the journey I've undertaken has been a sacred trust granted to me by Him.

    The journey continues! I hope you’ll
     come along.
