As I munched
on a bowl of organicly grown Shredded Wheat, I thought about my
spiritual food coming from God's Word (2 Peter 1:20-21). I can feed my body
with grain from the earth, but my spirit needs the nourishment that is found
only in the scriptures.
I grabbed my
Bible and started reading where I left off the day before (Matthew 4:4). Again,
it gave me the insight and encouragement that I needed for this new day (2
Peter 1:3).
The Bible always
supplies a lamp to light our way in this dark and dreary world (Psalm 119:105).
The verses give us courage, peace and strength to do God’s will for each moment
of our day.
God's Word
is alive (Hebrews 4:12-13); and the more we read its absolute truth, the more
it empowers our life with wisdom, joy and truth. The Bible is a friend that
sticks closer than a brother; it never fails to encourage and nourish our soul
and spirit.
We can trust
our life to the understanding we receive as we immerse our self in the truth of
God's Word. The fulfilled Biblical prophecies give us comfort to know that God
will execute the remaining prophecies with as much literal accuracy as He
accomplished those in the past.
Jesus alone
fulfilled over 300 Biblical prophecies with an accuracy that is impossible to
bring about in any way other than supernaturally.
He will
fulfill even more prophecies when He comes for His Bride; and again when He
returns to the earth to rule and reign, with the government on His shoulders (1
Thessalonians 4:13-5:22; Isaiah 9:6).
Prayer:
Father God,
the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy proves to us the inerrancy of Your Word.
This gives us the hope that every Word was inspired by You, and we can trust in
Your promises for our life and gain our spiritual nourishment for our daily
existence from each verse.
You give us
our daily bread each day, not only spiritually in Your Word, but also physically
by providing the finances and means to buy food to eat and to joys and
treasures to minister to our soul - our thoughts, feelings and choices. Help us
to be ever mindful that You created us for Your purpose and that Jesus is our
whole life (Ephesians 2:10; Colossians 3:3-4).
Thought for
the Day:
We stand on
God's Word, knowing that He never abandons us on this earth; and He gives us
His Spirit and His Word to encourage us and to give us hope even in our darkest
days.
