God’s Word – His omnipotent voice, and divine revelation, is not bound by time, place or person. His Word is alive, powerful, and effective in all situations, and at all times. God’s Word knows no boundaries…is unfettered by man’s thinking…it has no end.

Psalm 101: 2-3 ” I will walk in my house with blameless heart. I will set before my eyes no vile thing.”
If Jesus suddenly knocked on your front door today, would you let Him in immediately…or would you first race around “hiding” questionable things from His sight? We can become very lax when it comes to things we allow into our homes…things, that at first glance, seem so innocent, but in reality are full of corrupt and disgusting filth. Would you want Jesus walking through your home right now?
John 16:33 ” I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Only Jesus could use the Hebrew word for “take heart” with total certainty and confidence. Only He could assure us that sin and death were conquered once for all. For that Hebrew word for “take heart” literally means to celebrate! Jesus says to us, “Yes, you will have hardships in your life, but celebrate, for I am victorious over all.”
Mark 4:31 ” It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed you plant in the garden.”
There is vivid contrast between the tiny mustard seed and the huge nine foot plant it becomes. As brand new Christians, we’re like that tiny mustard seed…the Holy Spirit is planted in our hearts and our new life starts to grow. And just like that mustard seed, everything needed for us to mature is contained inside, for the Holy Spirit is that kernel of Truth that takes hold – teaching, encouraging, and admonishing us to develop. By listening to that still small voice, we grow in our Christian walk, maturing into strong, confident Believers.
Proverbs 10:24 ” What the wicked dreads will overtake him; what the righteous desire will be granted.”
God’s favor is on the righteous, but the wicked are continually fearful of what may befall them…for deep inside, they know what they do is wrong. The requests of the righteous are fulfilled…the anguish of the wicked is also paid back.
Proverbs 15: 3 ” The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.”
As Job lamented in Chapter 10, verse 4, “We see as only a mortal can see.” We shudder when we see horrific acts of violence played out across the world by evil people…We wonder out-loud how God can be turning a blind eye to all these atrocities. But God is not apathetically watching from afar as the wicked spread calamity and pain…rather, God is executing His judgment on all – the wicked and the good. And all will be called into account.
Proverbs 15: 33 ” The fear of the Lord teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor.”
Being part of the Lord’s boot camp teaches you discipline and discernment. But with new-found wisdom comes the tendency for us to be very impressed…with ourselves! God won’t use someone who’s arrogant and prideful. He wants rather a person whose contrite, modest, and humble…a person fully aware of where their wisdom comes from, and just Who is working through them. It’s then that God will esteem them before men.
Mark 13: 31 ” Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.”
This earth has a shelf life…the entire universe as we know it will end someday. But God and His Word will never cease to be in existence. God’s Word is alive and eternal. His Word is ever fresh, ever bringing new revelation and insight each time it’s read. God’s Word will last forever.
Psalm 108: 13 ” With God we will gain the victory, and He will trample down our enemies.”
What terror and turmoil has you in its clutches today? Call on the name of Jesus, and all the mighty power of Heaven and Earth will be at your disposal…for it is because of Him that we gain the victory. The Lord will crush under foot the enemy that has you filled with fear. Call on His name.
John 10:4 ” When He has brought out all His own, He goes on ahead of them, and His sheep follow Him because they know His voice.”
As His sheep, we need to be ever attentive, listening for His voice. But we also need to be ever on guard of confusing voices that draw us away from the one true voice. But alas, how do we recognize His voice? It’s by encounter after encounter with Him that we learn to perceive His voice.
