GOD BREATHED WORDS
2 Timothy 3:16-17
Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (WEB)
We recognize two distinct forms of the Word of God: the written 'logos' and the spoken or present 'rhema'. Both are essential in a believer's life. When Jesus responded to the devil's attacks in the wilderness, He started with the words "It is written,”... followed by a Scripture that He declared. We also know that Jesus Himself is the Living Word (John 1:1).
My prayer today is that every one of us would feed on God's written and spoken Word. As we abide in Jesus, the Living Word, may faith rise in our hearts! May we all align with God's words about our situation, even when our circumstances suggest otherwise.
I pray that we all love God's Word and walk in the wisdom given by the Holy Spirit, knowing when to declare, "It is written," in the face of challenges that come our way today.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (WEB)
