Thoughts on Today's Verse...

God's promises, God's Scriptures, and God's truth help us find our way in a pluralistic world of competing voices and values. His word lights our path in dark times, when we are often trapped in cynicism and despair. What great grace we have in knowing God's will for us delivered in our own language! Now, if we will only choose to walk in the light of that word and apply it to our lives. As the Holy Spirit tells us:
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).
So, let's open God's word in the Scriptures, seek to follow his ultimate Word (John 1:1-3), Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, and walk in the light of his word!

My Prayer...

Loving Father, thank you for giving us your truth in your Scriptures. Knowing you love us enough to communicate in language, in words we can hear, read, and understand, is truly awe-inspiring. So please, make our hearts hunger for the truth you've revealed in your word. Thank you for Jesus, the eternal Word, who embodied your truth. We want to grow into righteous and gracious children in your family, like our Savior. With all our love, we pray to you in the name of our older brother (Hebrews 2:10-11, 14) and Savior, Jesus, so that we may be conformed to him as your living Word and to your Scriptures as your words of truth. Amen.
