I must have God’s Word.

Without it, how will I know The Way? And the way…to act…to think…to react…to believe…to talk…to live?

Without it, how can I possibly know God? And His thoughts? And His will? And His truth? And His precepts? And His feelings? (Yup, even His feelings!)

But sometimes it seems the Bible has become so common to me. I don’t value it as God does. I begin to “need” something more.

One of the problems with wanting something more is that eventually it will becoming something instead. In other words, that More Thing will have taken the place of God’s Word.

“And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead” (31).

Oh, I don’t ask for someone to come back from the dead to prompt me to follow God’s way. But maybe I depend on a certain book or church or cassette or individual or…. Or maybe it’s a certain author or leader or singer or friend or….

God’s Word is enough!

If it isn’t, nothing else will be enough either.

This then is my commitment: I will hear the Word!

from Luke 16:15
