TODAY’S WORD…

.

The word of the Lord remains forever:

What is this word?

It is the Good News that has been brought to you.

.

– 1 Peter 1:25 (JB)

.

REFLECTION…

.

God’s wisdom has no “best before” date.

God’s word in the Bible, lasts forever,

and the more we eagerly consume from it,

the more there is, for our soul to digest,

in this divine, bottomless and timeless vessel

filled to the brim with wisdom and truth.

.

Everything fades,

except God’s word, which,

enriched by Christ’s love

and His teachings and example,

eternally blossoms – from age to age!

.

The beauty and depth of God’s love

is revealed in the hearts of those

who humbly reflect upon

and eagerly accept God’s promises and reassurances,

and His direction,

which He so caringly

and indelibly

lays down for us to live by,

in His everlasting word.

.

.

.

PRAYER…

.

As I reflect on Your word, O Lord,

I ask that Your Holy Spirit graciously opens the eyes of my heart

so I can see and learn Your truth.

.

Your divine truth is food for my soul,

which lovingly recognises the work of its Maker,

and eagerly receives it – if only I allow it to.

.

Lord, I lift my hands to You

and, filled with faith and hope, I proclaim

that Your word is the truth,

Your word is love,

Your word is salvation.

.

Amen.

.

.

.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Lord, Your word is truth, love and salvation!
