HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!!!!!
I just can't help but to shout that out. If you have had personal experiences with God you will definitely agree with me.
Well, just yesterday I had another long conversation with Him..this time was about reading the Word of God (WOG). I kinda had some rubbing with Him about going back to His words - the Bible, not that I didn't like to but there were some questions in my mind that were seeking for answers. Reading the WOG was one of the very clear thing He had spoken and reminded me for days. I guess it was urgent. But there were just some things I couldn't understand why. I did what He told me to do; flipped the Bible, started on Genesis. Yes, I received new insights that I never had before. But as a few days gone by, I slowly grew tired of continuing. Well, frankly speaking, most people would think it's boring. I did too. I felt demotivated to continue as I don't seem to grasp the meaning and significance of some passages, and I stopped.
But as soon as that happened, I was reminded of eating spiritual food once again. As our physical body can't go without food, the same goes with our spiritual body. The moment I planned to stop eating spiritual food, I felt weak, literally. My mind became easily distracted towards thoughts that are confusing and convicting. I felt burdened, fatigued and weakened both spiritually and physically. I knew then that I needed to recharge my spirit. So I went back to my room and talked to God, sincerely, honestly. I told Him my struggles regarding reading the scriptures and so. I also prayed that He will teach me face-to-face and one-on-one how to study His words. And guess what? He did! He never fails to amaze me.
He brought me to scriptures that I thought was irrelevant to me and the modern days, and He taught me how they could apply to my life and current situation! Indeed, there's meaning in every passage that still speaks to us today! Wow, I'm really enthralled. Not only so, He revealed me how the Word is the source of my everyday living, I can never live without it. Exactly, as I do the thinking, everything that I do involves the scriptures. How can I possibly live without it? We believe in God because of the Word, the church exists because of the Word, prayer meetings, lifegroups, fellowships are held simply because of the Word. Lives are transformed, miracles happen, healings come to pass...all because of the Word. And even simply understanding the Word comes from the Word itself! Woah..
And I do know, the Word gives power and faith to those who seek it; for it is written, faith comes from hearing the Word of God. For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirits, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
God changed my perspective regarding His words. After understanding the whys and so, things started to became clearer and simple. Oh yes, you could even guess it by now, I was totally refreshed and recharged after that. Felt more alive than ever!

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1
"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
Once you understand, you just got to love It! ;)
