the Word

^2-3 Instead you thrill to God's Word,
you chew on Scripture day and night.
You're a tree replanted in Eden,
bearing fresh fruit every month,
Never dropping a leaf,
always in blossom.

Psalms 1:2-3 (MSG)

²⁴"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. ²⁵The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. ²⁶But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. ²⁷The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

Matt 7:24-27 (NIV)


The Word of God is unchanging. His truth is everlasting. It will never pass away!
In this world it's pretty much the only thing that we can fully believe and rely on.

But are we chewing on it? Are we letting the truth get inside of us? His truth gives us true perspective, it shines light into the darkness, it gives life, it transforms us! The Word of God says that those who delight in, who meditate on, who chew on the Word of God will prosper, will not wither, will not be tossed about by the storms of life!
But also are we living out His Word? Not just chewing but are we digesting it? Is His Word staying IN us?

I know I need a healthier and larger diet of the Word of God! Super excited for this weekend and pray we all come prepared to chew and digest the Word of God!
