Life by Every Word
A man is pictured in a hot desert sun. Sweat drips off him as in desperation he lifts up his only source of hope, the indispensable canteen!
The picture is all to real my friends in the spiritual life. We are all wandering in the wilderness, the desert of sin we call this evil world. Dangers abound, the devil as a serpent is ready to destroy our lives at a moment's notice of unguardedness. In this hot barren wasteland of sin, death awaits all who don't take hold of the indispensable canteen, the Word of Life. The Words of Jesus, as given in the Holy Bible, are the Source of Life for the weary parched traveller.
Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Matthew 4:4. Our life comes from studying and following Jesus' Words of instruction and hope in the Holy Bible. Every Word of that book is vital for us to study.
We are told,
2Tim 3:16 "All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"
Are you, dear reader, thirsty for the Word of life? Tired of the ultimate dehydration and death that a life apart from Jesus and His Word only offers? Do you desire the peace, joy, fulfilment and hope that God's Word can give? Why don't you make a simple commitment to Jesus, that every day you will read His Holy Word and follow what it says. Why don't you invite Him into your life, and ask for His guidance as you do so? You'll find that the indispensable canteen will readily quench your heart's deepest needs and longings, and bring you that joy and peace that you need!
