WEEKLY DEVOTIONALS – 2011
The Bible – Absolute Truth – Week 5 John 1:1In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God,and the Word was God.
Listen to these words by A.W. Tozer: The Bible will never be a living Book to us until we are convinced that God is articulate in His universe….I believe that much of our religious belief is due to a wrong conception of and a wrong feeling for the Scripture of Truth….the facts are that God is not silent, has never been silent. It is the nature of God to speak.
The 2nd Person of the Holy Trinity is called the Word. The Bible is the inevitable outcome of God’s continuous speech. It is the infallible declaration of His mind for us put into our familiar human words.
If you would follow on to know the Lord, come at once to the open Bible expecting it to speak to you. Do not come with the notion that it is a thing which you may push around at your convenience. It is more than a thing, it is a Voice, a Word, the very Word of the Living God. (quotes from The Pursuit of God, pages 81,82,83)
To know the Absolute Truth we must have the Word dwelling in our hearts. Tozer speaks to all who are the Called, true Believers in The Way, The Truth, and The Life - Jesus Christ, the Living Word. Absolute Truth can only be revealed through One Person, Jesus the Messiah and Savior.
THOUGHTS TO PONDER THIS WEEK
- Do you view the Bible as just a book, or as the Living Word of God?
- Do you want to draw closer to God?
- Do you take the time daily to get to know Him by reading the Living Word?
- Drawing closer to God is an act of Worship. Have you quieted your heart in order to hear Him speak through His Word today?
Today, may we each draw from the "Water" that is truly Life. Sandy Davis, for the team at Women In Discipleship (sm) womenindiscipleship.org – P.O. Box 694, Goldenrod, FL, 32733 – (407) 325-2986
