The Word

And God said, “Let there be light, and there was light. Genesis 1:3 (NIV)

Bible Reading: Genesis 1:1-5

All through the scriptures, God never did a thing without His Word. Anytime He wants to proffer a solution He sends forth His Word. In the beginning when the earth was formless, empty and full of darkness, He sent forth His Word into action by saying “Let there be”. Anytime He desires to help anyone or save a nation, He sends forth his word. In fact, to save humanity from eternal damnation, He sent forth Jesus (the Word made flesh – John 1:14, 3:16). At the wedding at Cana (John 2) Jesus’ mother instructed the servants saying, “do whatever he tells you”. This is because there is power in whatever utterance that comes out of God’s mouth. As a child of God, know that the solution to your present situation lies in the Word. The current crises the world demands the Word of God if it must be resolved. This Word is Jesus, for “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”.  The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father full of grace and truth‚ John 1:1, 14 (NIV). Therefore, first go for Jesus Christ and the inspired Word of God in every situation.

Self-Reflection: Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. Psalm 119:105 (NIV)

Action Point: I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against Thee.

Daily Confession: Dear Lord, help me to spend time with the Word daily.

Intercessory prayer: I pray for my country that our love for God will be restored.

Hymn: More about Jesus would I know,

More of His grace to others show;

More of His saving fullness see,

More of His love who died for me
