I continue to reflect on the effects of the devastating fire in Bastrop. As I was gathering items to take to my niece last Saturday, I took a Women's Devotional Bible that I had on the shelf and had never used. She immediately grasped it and said "a Bible, I don't have my Bible." It made me think how precious my Bibles are to me. Special notes in every one. Thoughts, prayers, underlines, drawings, all so special to me. What would it be like not to have a Bible?
Gigi Graham Tchividjian says "One day we may not have the written Word, but it will be a lot more difficult to take away what we have hidden in our hearts and minds. the Word of God is a living Word; it is the person of Jesus Christ Himself revealed to us. Psalm 119 says that the Word cleanses, strengthens, delights, teaches, saves, comforts, directs and gives understanding. What a resource!.
Whatever life holds for you and your family in the coming days, weave the unfailing fabric of God's Word through your heart and mind. It will hold strong, even if the rest of life unravels." Thank you, Gigi!
God's Word is my strength and comfort. Not just the words on the page, but the words in my heart. Those that I hold in my heart can never be taken away. In the midst of disappointments, heartaches, and discouragement His Word will never fail. I am committing to memorizing more Scripture, will you come with me on the journey?
"Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path". Psalm119:105
