Psalm 119:89 KJV: For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
God spoke to Adam and Eve; God spoke His word to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses.
God spoke to the entire nation of Israel at Mount Sinai when he recited the Ten Commandment; the words that they heard were His words. God also spoke through the prophets. Jesus spoke was the word of God to the people and to the 12 disciples. God spoke to Paul. God speaks to us today.
The word of God is the written record of what the prophets, apostles, and Jesus has spoken the Scriptures. What was written in the Bible was the word of God. The oneness or unity of the Bible is a miracle. It is a library of 66 books, written by over 35 different authors, in a period of approximately 1,500 years. What kind of authors that God had chosen to write His word through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit? They were humans; educated and uneducated, including kings, fishermen, public officials, farmers, teachers, and physicians. For 35 authors, with such varied backgrounds, to write on so many subjects over a period of about 1,500 years in absolute harmony, was a mathematical impossibility. It started with Moses [who wrote 5 books] in the year of 1400 BC until John [who wrote 5 books] ending in 97 AD. It could not happen! Then how do we account for the Bible? The only explanation is: “Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” [2 Peter 1:21b]. NCV: “…people led by the Holy Spirit spoke the words from God.”
Again, Psalm 119:89 declared that “Thy word is settled in heaven forever.” Do you see why it is important to study His Word? It is a miracle that we have the Bible in our hands. It is a miracle that we have so many translations to help us understand His word better. His Word is Fresh Manna from Heaven. The Bible is Fresh Manna from Heaven. Praise the Lord! NCV says, “Lord, your word is everlasting; it continues forever in heaven.”
Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank You for the marvelous Bible. Thank you for the miracle. Sometimes we don’t realize what we have in our hands, the Bible. I pray that our hearts be more open to Your words, fresh manna to feed our soul day by day. May Your word enrich our spirits, our hearts and minds through Jesus’ name and the blood of Jesus covers us. Amen!
