Your Word Has Given Me Life

 We are to be filled with the Spirit of God, to grow in grace, and abide in Christ. We are exhorted to meditate on His Word, day and night - teaching, admonishing, and comforting one another in all wisdom. We are to sing God's Word with psalms, in hymns and spiritual songs, and by His grace we are encouraged to make melody in our hearts to the Lord.
 We live in a fast-moving world, where we are increasingly beset by difficulties, dangerous afflictions, and persecution. Let us never forget the comfort and solace that can be received, moment by moment, from the Word of God as we abide in Him and He in us.
 The more we abide in Christ - Who is the living WORD of God, the more He is revealed to us through His written WORD. It is only as we walk in spirit and truth that we will increasingly discover the beauty and wonder of "Your Word," as expressed so eloquently in Psalm 119.
Psalm 119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction, For Your Word Has Given Me Life.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the wonderful written Word of God and the great comfort we receive from its pages. Thank You for Jesus, the Word made flesh, and for the loving comfort and grace we receive daily from knowing Him as my Savior. Help us to use our time wisely and delight to read, mark, learn, inwardly digest, and meditate on the Scriptures, night and day. Thank You that Your Word is light and life, comfort and joy, refreshment and sustenance, to all who are oppressed and weary. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
