One Amazing Letter Read: Psalm 119:9-16 I will not forget Your word. âPsalm 119:16 Bible in a Year: Proverbs 8-9; 2 Corinthians 3 Once in a while I open the mail to find a letter with no words on it. When we take the âletterâ out of the envelope, we see a piece of paper with nothing more on it than a colorful mark made with a felt pen. Those âlettersâ warm my heart because theyâre from my preschool granddaughter Katie, who lives in another state. Even without words, these letters tell us that she loves us and is thinking about me. We all cherish letters from those we love and those who love us. Thatâs why there is so much encouragement in the fact that our heavenly Father has given us a letter called the Bible. The value of Scripture goes beyond its words of power, challenge, and wisdom. Amid all of the stories, teaching, and guidance this Book provides, the overriding idea is that God loves us and has planned our rescue. It tells us of His love in overseeing our existence (Ps. 139), meeting our needs (Matt. 6:31-34), comforting us (2 Cor. 1:3-4), and saving us through the sacrifice of His , Jesus (Rom. 1:16-17). You are loved beyond imagination. God says so in His inspired and inspiring message to you. No wonder the psalmist wrote, âI will not forget Your wordâ (Ps. 119:16). It is one amazing letter! Lord, help me to examine the Bibleâs pages, understand its truths, and apply its teachings to my life. May I be as excited about Your letter to me as I am about a letter, email, or Facebook posting by a friend. The love of God for us is revealed in His letter to usâthe Bible. |
