Theme: What happened when there is no word of God?
Proverbs
29:18 NCV “Where there is no word of God, people are uncontrolled, but those
who obey what they have been taught are happy.” KJV: “Where there is no vision,
the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”
Without the Word of God, it would be like having no law in our lives and in our lands. We, the people would be out of control such as if there would be no traffic lights, no policemen, and no laws to control the situation. It would be awful. So it is important to have God’s law to keep us under control. We are happy when we are taught to obey the laws.
The vision means “revelation.” When there is no revelation from God; when no one know what God’s will is and when people don’t know God’s law for them to live righteously, the people will die without God. So it was important for the priests to have ‘The Scripture’ preached to the people in the congregation often when they gathered to hear the Word of the Lord.

Hearing
the Word of God often was a reminder to the people of Israel to always remember
their God as One Lord, and the only One to worship to. The Israelites would
always remember God’s law to live by. God would bless the people who kept the
law in their hearts and they would be happy.
Such as Proverbs 30:5 quoted “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.” To keep us from falling away is to stay close to Him, study His Word, obey Him, love Him, worship Him, and learn what the will of the Lord is for us. Because the Bible says, “He that doeth the will of God abides forever.”
I remember this short song when I was a child.
The B-I-B-L-E.
It stands the Word for me.
I stand alone the Word of God,
The B-I-B-L-E.

After
I wrote from Proverbs 30:6 and it became long and I realized it was another
subject “Do not add to His Word.” It was interesting because it was something I
had not study before. It helps me understand how to deal with this.
So
God bless you,
Dorothy
