God's Word

I never can put enough emphasis on God's word and its impact on a life.  I have had the privilege of reading the word of God from Genesis to Revelation 72 times.  I am now going through for the 73rd time.  Each time I read through I fine new nuggets of truth.  Last night in our Bible study we were studying the life of Jonah.  Chapter three of Jonah is such a rich place to mine for nuggets of truth.  We learned that Jonah heard the word of the Lord a second time and then went to Ninevah.  This spoke of God giving a second chance..  In many cases such as my own, He is the God of the 10000th chance.  We also learned last night that Jonah only gave half the message but the people still repented and were saved.  This shows that even our rebellion and prejudice can be overcome by God to reach the intended target audience.  God is so good and that is not just a catch phrase.  God is good and His loved can overcome even the largest obstacles which is our own preconcieved ideas on how He works.  All this comes from God's word.  It is His love letter about who He is and how He works.  Today fall in love with God's word and mine it for nuggets of truth which in turn you can apply to your life to make you the person God has designed you to be.
