Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. Do
not add to His words, or He will rebuke you and prove you a liar. ~Proverbs
30:5-6
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. ~Revelation 22:18-19
All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. ~2 Timothy 3:16-17
For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and Spirit joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. ~Hebrews 4:12
In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. He was with God in the beginning. The word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. ~John 1:1-2 & 14
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is My Word that goes out of My mouth: it will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. ~Isaiah 55:10-11
We use words. We talk a lot! Sometimes, I suppose, we talk too much. We need words to communicate with one another. Words convey our feelings and experiences. Our words also have power. We can build someone up or tear someone down depending on how we use words. But none of our words have the power that the Lord’s Words do.
He can speak and create life. Like water that enables life to spring from the earth, God’s word is a powerful force for good love! By His Word, His Will is done. His Words are flawless and powerful. When God speaks, things happen. Jesus is God’s Word. In Jesus, God said all that needed to be said. He is flawless. Nothing needs to be added to Him. No law or ritual could make Him better and those who tried to discredit Him have been proven to be liars.
God sent His Word into the world and He accomplished what He was sent to do. He did not return to the Father empty. Jesus, the Word of God, accomplished what He had intended to do and is now seated at the right hand of the Father for eternity. While the Word walked this earth, He instructed those who would listen. He is God breathed and came, “teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
He has assured us that He will be a shield, never leaving us without His protection. He has promised to walk with us through every trial. We dare not add to His message. There is no “Jesus-plus-something.” There is just Jesus, the Word of God, standing on His own, full of power and glory.
When there are the hard teachings, He is like a sword. When there are the gentle words, they are like the snow and rain that water the earth. His goal is always truth and life, truth that reveals the reality of our situation, and life that goes on forever.
Prayer: Jesus, Word of God! So good to know You who created all but darkness have spoken light and life and health and healing into our dark and broken world. How Good You are! Jesus, Word of God, Truth be known, and sad to say, I would not have chosen You if You had not chosen me. But You turned a light on in my soul, and now I thrill to hear again and again Your words of Truth and light, even when the Truth hurts! (Oh I wish that I never recoiled at Your words.) And now that I know all this wonderful Truth about You, my greatest joy is to share Your Word and watch others come alive in You. Oh, make me bolder Lord, in Jesus’ name, amen.
