It’s been an extremely long time since I’ve written anything at all here. In fact, my last post (Putting Words to Paper) was in August of 2025. That was over a year ago. So I finally decided I had to do something to break myself out of the malaise I’d gotten myself into, and that’s what I’m doing here.
God’s Word is the foundation of my life, and the rock upon which my life is built. I can’t live without it.
24“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25“and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. ~ Matthew 7:24-25, NKJV.
I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; for You have magnified Your word above all Your name. ~ Psalm 138:2, NKJV.
There are times when I blow it. I’m human. I sin just like everyone else. But that’s where repentance comes in, and I’m so grateful to God for His mercy and love in giving us that gift.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ~ 1 John 1:9, NKJV.
I kind of like the idea of having my own private fuel pump. God’s Word is the fuel that keeps me going. It certainly feeds my soul. I started reading through the Bible in January, and I’ve been able to be consistent. I’ve only missed a few days here and there, and I’m reading the Book of Jeremiah at the moment. My Bible reading time is the highlight of my day, the very best part. I might not get it finished in a year, but that’s all right
God’s Word is completely dependable and trustworthy. As a fuel pump it will never run dry, which is one of the many reasons why I love it so much.
8“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. 9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. 10For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 11So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” ~ Isaiah 55:8-11, NKJV.
God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? ~ Numbers 23:19, NLT.
Above are two of my favorite passages of Scripture, the first because it’s all about how faithful God’s Word is, and the second because it’s all about how faithful God is. I’ve been lied to a LOT in my life, and these two passages say very specifically that God’s Word and God don’t lie, and that I can depend on them to not lie.
I LOVE THAT!!!
