Men and Women of the Word

Joshua 1:8 (NKJV) This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Even though there is almost a wholesale abandonment of God's Word among so many churches today, you don't have to fall into that trap. We need God's Word. We need to be reading it. We need to be studying it. We need to be memorizing it. We need to be using it. We need to be relying upon it. We need to be trusting it. We need to be sharing it.

God's Word is living and powerful; alive and active. Make the Word of God your source for every decision. Search out the Scriptures like you were up in the Yukon, mining for gold! There are treasures and juicy spiritual nuggets to be found, every time you turn the page.

I hope you know by now that your spiritual strength and vitality is directly related to the time you spend in God's Word. It's been said that a 'week' without the Word will make a Christian 'weak.' It's so true.

Agree with Job, in loving God's Word, who said, "I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food. Job 23:12 (NKJV)"

Dive into His Word today, friend. You'll be glad you did!

In Him,
Pastor Ed

Pastor Ed, you brought back a wonderful memory for me. My family very recently has gone through three years of darkness and trials, one thing right after another. A friend told me she had never gone through trials like we were going through and she actually said she envied us because she just knew that God would bless us if we stayed faithful through it all. She was right. God is just blessing our socks off right now! I just hope that through the next trial, I can always remember to bless Him and praise Him in the bad times just as I am through the good times now. And I hope we can always remember that there is a light at the end of that tunnel for us, shining bright, if we can just hold on long enough to get a glimpse of it! Thank you for your faithfulness, also. You are a very good substitute shepherd! Until His return!
