“Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and
the proclamation of Jesus Christ… to the only wise God be glory forever
through Jesus Christ! Amen.” Romans 16:25-27
Thought
God doesn’t just bless us. He establishes us! He makes us strong! He
matures us into solid and true disciples. He does this in many ways. One
of the most important, however, is through the words the Holy Spirit
inspired and shared with us through Jesus’ early disciples. As this year
moves towards its close and another stands at the door, let’s make a
renewed commitment to spend time each day in the Bible. Let’s not let
this powerful tool and great resource for living be relegated to being a
coffee-table book or a good luck charm to take with us to church.
Prayer
I thank you, O God, for your Spirit that breathed out your
message through human agents. I thank you for those human partners who
shared the Spirit’s message with us in Scripture. I thank you for the
many fine translations of the Bible that are available to us today. I
thank you for the freedom to have a copy of the Bible in my home. Please
help me not squander the incredible blessing of your written word. In
Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
