Day 89: March 29, 2016 Verbage vs. THE WORD

March 29, 2016   Verbiage and THE WORD
Day 89



Words, words, words, words - we are surrounded by words, either spoken, written or inferred. We have words in our minds wired from childhood, some of them negative and some of them positive. Haunting, tormenting, encouraging, or guiding. We have words in our journals written from pain, joy, questioning, deep introspection or a daily recording of the mundane. We have words from the radio; mindless, instructive, warning, informing, melodic. We have words from the television; entertaining, dulling, teaching, training, or documenting.

There is not a day that has, is, or will be devoid of words. We have words from our thoughts; hamster wheel type, understanding type, brute force police type. All our words, in and out, are clamoring, begging, cajoling for our attention. We are drowning in words.

STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. 

However, today, yesterday, and tomorrow, there is only one word that matters- The WORD.  One word that sums all into one beautiful word of love- Jesus, the WORD of God. He is the WORD that will take your heart and soothe it - Jesus.

Today, as you are faced with tough decisions, busy schedules, sad circumstances, a yearning for more, a desire to know what to do next, a need to line up your tasks in nice neat and tidy columns - you must know the Word for the Day. Jesus is the WORD of the day. He is the WORD of yesterday. And He will be the WORD for tomorrow.

In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God. (1) The WORD is pertinent for all times. There is no waning, no waxing, no morphing, changing, or rewiring of the WORD. Oh, my precious Jesus, the WORD of God.




(1) John 1 - do yourself a favor and read all of it.
