God's Word Never Fails

Day Twenty-Four -

There is something unique about studying God's Word. It is something that I have not experienced in studying any other book. God's Word is straightforward, yet mysterious - ever-changing, yet faithfully constant. There is something incredibly beautiful about it. It is the one book that I can open, and even if I have read it's verses countless times, I will truly learn something new. Something new about God's ways. Something new about myself. It grows and matures as we grow and mature in our faith. I may start one place while studying, but it never fails that I will end up in a completely different place in the Bible. Completely different, but totally connected. That is the beauty of the scriptures. They are timeless, as God himself is timeless. They are a tapestry, woven together, pointing to the one true thing - Christ, the glory of God, living in us. The Word of God is a mirror to our souls, a refuge in the storms of our life, and our sword as we face the battle that rages around us. It is a true picture of our Creator.

"To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." - Colossians 1:27

Blessings!
