Reading:<\/font>
\nLuke 16:15-31<\/font>

I must have God’s Word.<\/p>\n

Without it, how will I know The Way? And the way…to act…to think…to react…to believe…to talk…to live?<\/p>\n

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!)<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

“And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead”<\/font><\/b> (31).<\/p>\n

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….<\/p>\n

God’s Word is enough!<\/p>\n

If it isn’t, nothing else will be enough either.<\/p>\n

This then is my commitment: I will hear the Word!<\/b><\/p>\n
