Devo: "The Eternal Nature of God's Word!"

 The Eternal Nature of God’s Word!

“For the word of God is living and active…” (Hebrews 4:12)

     The amazing truth about the Word of God, is that it is eternally alive (Matthew 24:35). Our God is an eternal God and anything coming out of Him is eternal.

     For example, we as mankind, have been made in the image and likeness of God. Because we are in the image likeness of God, we are eternal beings, we will never cease to exist (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Since we are eternal beings, the big question is, “Where will we exist, will we exist in Heaven, or will we exist in Hell (Revelation 20:11-15)?”

     Because we are eternal beings, we are made to exist on eternal food. The Word of God is the eternal food that our souls are created to live on. “But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.’ ” (Matthew 4:4) The Word of God satisfies the needs of our souls. “…I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.” (Job 23:12)

     The Word of God is the seed of God that enables us to be born again (2 Peter 1:23). The Word of God ignites and empowers our faith (Romans 10:17). The Word of defines who we are (Matthew 4:1-4). The Word of God equips us to live life and minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 3:17). The Word of God is what we use to discern whether something is healthy for our souls or not (Hebrews 4:12). The Word of God’s grace builds us up and give us an inheritance in the Kingdom of God (Acts 20:32). The Word of God empowers to live in prosperity (Psalm 1:2-3). The Word of God is always working in our lives to fulfill in us the will and purposes of God (Isaiah 55:10-11).

     Satan is constantly seeking to feed to us junk food that cannot satisfy our souls. The junk food of the devil only creates problems and hunger in our souls. The junk food of the thoughts and opinions of people hinders us from knowing who we are (John 5:44). The junk food of the philosophy, traditions of men and wisdom of the world seeks to take us captive and rob us of our love and devotion to Jesus (Colossians 2:8). The junk food of the devil seeks to create doubts in our hearts so that we cannot receive the greatness and blessings of our God (James 1:5-7). The junk food of the devil are the lies that seek to bring death into our lives (John 8:44).

     We are eternal beings, and we are created to feed on the eternal substance of the Word of God. If we do not eat, we will become weak and open ourselves us to sickness. If we eat junk food, it can also create health issues. Let’s feed ourselves with the eternally satisfying substance of God’s Word and experience the fullness of life.
