I believe this video will be a great blessing to you today! It's just a little over 5 minutes.
Joseph talks about how the scripture brings us peace. It is food for us (the bread of life). We find grace and strength in the Word. We know, as Christians, how important it is to be in the Word [daily]. Just as children grow, are nourished and strengthened by eating physical food; we as Christians grow, are nourished and strengthened by 'eating' the Word of Christ. We grow spiritually.
He talks about how many people read the Word to find out what to 'do.' So much of the church is about 'doing.' And there is a place for that. Scripture certainly can and should guide us in many areas of life. So, it's not wrong to look into the Word anytime.
But, there is a better way. We need to open the Word and 'meet with' Jesus. We need to be conscious of the fact that He is there with us as we open the pages and begin to take Him in.
Jesus said, "I come in the volume of the book." (see Heb. 10:7)
Expect to meet Him there. Remember what John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly.
Continue to abide in the Vine. Take life and health and wholeness from Him. He longs to provide it to you. Amen?
A place designed to inspire and encourage people daily in God's love and grace! "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases." Psalm 103:2-3 If you want to be saved, just call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Give your life to Him and ask Him to do something with it. Begin reading the Word of God, esp. the book of John. Find a church that preaches the Word of God and begin a wonderful journey of knowing Him.
