The word of God is a powerful and transformative force that has the ability to create, build, organize, and bring order to our lives. It is authentic, infallible, sufficient, and undiluted, and has the power to bring situations and circumstances into reality.
In Genesis, we see the power of God’s word on display as He speaks the universe into existence. “AND GOD SAID” is repeated seven times, emphasizing the power and authority of His word. The word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, and has the ability to penetrate to the deepest parts of our nature, exposing and judging the thoughts and purposes of our hearts (Hebrews 4:12).
As believers, we are called to stay with the word of God, to feed on it, and to obey it. It is our strength, our guidance, and our light in times of darkness. The word of God has the power to revive our souls, to make us wise, and to give us joy and light (Psalm 19:7-8).
In Ezekiel 37:1-14, we see the prophet Ezekiel prophesying to dry bones, and the word of God bringing life to hopeless and shattered circumstances. This is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of God’s word, and its ability to bring life and hope to our situations.
As Christians, our growth, sustainability, and well-being depend on how much of the word of God we have in us. We must prioritize spending time with the word, studying it, meditating on it, and obeying it. The word of God is our lamp and our light, and it guides us on our journey with God.
Jesus Christ is the ultimate example of the word of God in action. He is the Word made flesh, and He came to show us the way, the truth, and the life. When we feed on the word, we are feeding on Christ, and we are nourished and sustained by His presence.
The word of God is profitable for rebuking, correction, teaching, and training in righteousness, and it equips us for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Let us commit to staying with the word, to obeying it, and to living it out in our daily lives. May we be practitioners of the word, and not just hearers only.
May the Lord help us to daily abide by His word, and to be genuine doers of His will. Amen.
