The Word for wisdom:
Proverbs 13:3 (HCSB)
The one who guards his mouth protects his life; the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.
The Word for inspiration:
Psalm 119:25 (HCSB)
My life is down in the dust; give me life through Your word.
The Word for encouragement:
Hebrews 4:12 (HCSB)
For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the ideas and thoughts of the heart.
1 Peter 1:23-25 (NLT)
23 For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. 24 As the Scriptures say, "People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades. 25 But the word of the Lord remains forever." And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.
My observation:
One of the greatest blessings you can ever receive from the hand of God is the blessing of eternal life. In our focal passage Peter reminds his readers that the life they received will last forever because this life comes from the eternal and living word of God. Now that is something that should encourage your heart for today, and give you a bright hope for all of your tomorrows.
My prayer:
Father God, I exalt you for who you are, and I bless you for your mighty works. Father, I am so thankful that my life has experienced the blessings of the living and eternal word of God. Father God, I thank you that the word of God has life, and that it imparts life to the readers, the hearers, and the doers of the word of God.
