A word to Keep

Word, is what we have in bible. Which we strongly believe are the living words of God which talks about life, in our daily life routine. And it teaches us a way of living not a way of religion or rules or rituals.

I was listening to one song written and sung by one of our friend Jessica Cress  from USA. This song made me think about the word God gave us. There is one line which caught my attention and made me think. This line talks about promises, covenant, comfort, Love, security, peace and hope.

“You gave me a word, I won’t let it go”

(full song link: " See the sign " )

This is like God you gave me a word which gives me peace, makes me feel relaxed from all burden and makes me feel that God the creator of everything loves me. Isn’t that so beautiful? So why should we let it go??

When we have this word (bible) with us which is the key to the kingdom, we should be spending time to read more so God can talk directly to us through these words instead of talking to us indirectly. Because when we are not close to the word of God He tries to reach us through other things around us in this world. But we already have His spoken words so we should be taking advantage of this.

So from this line of the song, we can relate many things because it talks about “word” and we know the things we see, explore and the life we live; feel is created out of these living word of God. He just spoke these words of creation; that was, is and forever with us.

Some references:

      1. Word of creation – Genesis 1
     
2.Word of covenant – Genesis 12

     Insight – God promised to bless Abram and make him famous, but there was one condition. Abram had to do what God wanted him to do. This meant leaving his home and friends and traveling to a new land where God promised to build a great nation from Abram’s family. Abram obeyed, walking away from his home for God’s promise of even greater blessings in the future. God may be trying to lead you to a place of greater service and usefulness for him. Don’t let the comfort and security of your present position make you miss God’s plan for you.

3.Word of Joy - Psalm 119:2; Philippians 1:25
   Faith in God brings happiness, for God has promised that when we truly seek him, we will surely find him (Jer. 29:13-14).

     
4.Word of peace - John 14:27, Psalm 3:5; Psalm 4:8; Psalm 29:11; Psalm 32:7; Philippians 4:7

         5.  Word of security - John 10:25, Proverbs 14:26

     6. Word of salvation – Romans 10:9

     7. Word of strength – Philippians 4:13, Acts 4:12
(  Although it may sound exclusive, the Bible’s claim of “one way” to salvation is actually an expression of the grace and kindness of God.)

     8. Word of Grace - Psalm 103:8

     9. Word of Help - Genesis 18:13, 2 Chronicles 15:4

    10. Word of Love – Romans 8:38
  whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We can pull more and more word of life from this treasure God gave us.

Hope to see more inputs on this.

Blessings to all…MONU
