Around the Word instead of Around the World
First day of three year old Pre-K
Several years ago, a relative of mine had the luxury of taking an around the world trip which had been arranged as a retirement gift for her husband. I'm sure it was unforgettable.
The phrase, around the world popped into my head and I realized I will never travel around the world, but there is equally as much richness to be treasured when we travel around the Word.
God's Word is full of picturesque history, sites and smells we can imagine if we allow our senses to take us there. It is filled with wisdom, instruction and the hope of what's to come. A visit is to Israel would be wonderful, but not being there in person in no way diminishes the power of all it represents.
God's Word is enough for me.
I read an article on the 7 Powers of God's Word.
https://bibletalk.tv/7-powers-of-the-word
1) Power to Reveal in Genesis 1-2 how and when the world was created, the reason we are sinful, the true nature of God and what happens to us after we die.
2) Power to Refute 2 Timothy 3:16
3) Power to Reproduce-Luke 8:11 Luke defined the Word of God as being like a seed.
4) The Power to Re-Direct 1 Peter 2:25
Peter says, "For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls."
5) The Power to Revive -Psalms 138:7
The psalmist says, "In the midst of trouble, You will revive me."
6) The Power to Reward Hebrews 11:6
"For he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him."
God's word is the bonding mechanism between Himself and His people. It is our greatest and most precious reward.
7) The Power to Get Us Ready-Luke 12:40
"You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming.
So off we go to get around God's Word some more.

Christ is Enough
