What’s the Good Word?

Scripture
“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
~ Isaiah 55:10-11
But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.” ~ Luke 8:21
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. ~ James 1:22
Prayer
Holy Father in heaven, thank You for Your Word which sanctifies us by Truth (John 17:17). Let us meditate in it each day that we will hear Your voice and prosper in our spirit at each word. Let us allow Your Word to be a lamp of light that guides our steps (Psalm 119:105). Let us feed upon it that we will always be fed in our hearts; never hungering for Your Spirit (Matthew 4:4). And let us use it as our weapon of choice in the battle for our souls (Hebrews 4:12). If we truly believe what we believe is real then let us be hearers and doers of Your Word today, that our lives will reflect as such. Amen.
Testimony
The Word is food for our Spirit when we hunger for God. It is a lamp to light our path. It is the Truth in a a world of lies and deception. IT BECAME FLESH so that it could dwell amongst us, heal us, teach us and comfort us. It is the Law and the prophets. It is the gospel of the coming Kingdom and the King to come. It came to die for us that we can be saved and redeemed, and it rose from the dead that we could rise with it in Christ and live eternally with Him if we believe that it is real. Yes, the Word of God has gone out forever and has never come back void.
Wisdom
Food for thought: But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
~ Matthew 4:4
Bon appetit!
