Depend On The Word

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation” 1 Peter 2:2

In his book “Life for Leaders”, author Mark D. Roberts writes:
“The leading figure appears in the very first verse (in the Bible): “In the beginning . . . God.”

…today, I want to underline the centrality of God in the biblical story.

God is the protagonist. God is the main actor. God is the one who ties together all the pieces of the story. God is the one who orchestrates the events. Indeed, God is also the author of the biblical story.

To be sure, the Bible tells a human story as well, with people playing an essential role from the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation.

The Bible also narrates the affairs of the nations, especially Israel. The Bible can be useful for philosophy, psychology, and a wide array of other disciplines. It provides the sure foundation for right theology. But, at its core, the Bible is a story, a story of God, the story of God.”

All of us need to depend on God’s Word and to put the Word of God in loving action.

Praise Jesus for the Bible and determine to daily read your Bible.

Like Joseph storing up grain during the years of plenty to be used during the years of famine that lay ahead, may we store up the truths of God’s Word in our hearts as much as possible, so that we are prepared for whatever season we face.

“How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” – Psalm 119:103
