The Word reintroduces us to the Father, we would not know of Him if the Word did not exist. We would not know true love, righteousness, or self-control without the Word. Some of us would still be in the streets, doing or selling drugs, robbing people, prostitution, without the Word. Without out the Word, there would be no instruction on life or how to live as a functional society. We would have no purpose or direction without the Word, the Word lets us know our origin and our destiny. We need to know the Word the whole Truth and not just the blessings, love, and joyful times. We need to also focus on the suffering, the punishment for our actions and the consequences of our sins. Hearing the Truth is what makes us turn from our wicked ways and receive forgiveness. The Word has transforming power and it is given to us to teach us how to live for God and others. The Word is to help deliver us to a level of righteousness that is required of God’s children.
Father, help us understand to receive the goodness of You we must study the Word, so please fill our hearts and minds with the goodness of You; so we will be baptized by the Holy Spirit, and compel to obey You. Lord, You are good and Your Word helps us become good, so please teach us Your decrees. Father, let the Word penetrate deep within us where our souls and spirits come together so it will judge our thoughts and our intentions; and remove all that is not of You, and replace it with the things of the Spirit. Lord, give us the courage to witness for You with the same authority as Christ so the people we witness to can see You through us. Father, let Your goodness pass before us and be gracious to us and thank You for showing us mercy, in Jesus name Amen
