“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).

Jesus, the living Word, first.

I want it that way in my life. I again affirm my choice.

Naturally, then, I want His written Word, the Bible, to be first in my life as well.

How could it be any other way?!

So I’ll continue doing my best to put my Scripture reading at the beginning of my day.

And more than that, I want to do my living by the Word first.

“According to the Scriptures, how should I be living now?”

Can you find silver Mexican peso?

You won’t get one going to a bank, even a bank in Mexico. Neither will you find one in the change you receive from purchasing something at a store, even a store in Mexico. And I doubt you would find one by going to any major city in the world, standing on a busy street corner, and asking 50 passersby if they have one in their pocket. (You probably wouldn’t find any by asking 50,000 passersby!)

But I can find one!

It’s all in looking in the right places.

But never mind a silver Mexican peso. What about this next “item”?

“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies” (Proverbs 31:10).

I can!

And again, it’s all in looking in the right places.

I can find virtuous women in my home and in my church.

Praise the Lord!
