Encouragement . . . for the Journey

"Who can possibly measure the lasting impact of the Word of God? In a world without standards, where everything is relative, where the pace is maddening and prices are soaring, there is great security in opening God's timeless Book and hearing His voice. It calms our fears. It clears our hearts. It comforts our walk. It confirms our commitment." (Chuck Swindoll, Living Insights Bible, page 201.)

God's Word is timeless, never changing, always perfect for any need. Is there to encourage, strengthen, discipline us for our good and His glory and is not too difficult for us to obey. "Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. No, the Word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it." Deuteronomy 31:11,14

God tells us that He will bless those who hunger for it. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Matthew 5:6 Filled with His promises, filled with His joy, filled with His peace, filled with hope.

Are you reading His Word daily ~ do you seek to know Him more intimately? STOP ~ be still ~ get your Bible and read His Words ~ linger in His presence ~ sit at His feet until you hear His voice. Drink in the beauty of His Truth ~ lavish in His blessing as you are still before Him. This is not a monetary gift that is here for the moment, no this is lasting and goes deep within your soul.
