October 20, 2023: Think About The Word

"Whoever gives thought to the word will discover good, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord." (Proverbs 16:20, ESV)

Proverbs truly is a book of wisdom! And Proverbs 16:20 is solid wisdom. Jesus said that His words were Spirit and life. Paul, in Hebrews, said the Word is living and active. Isaiah said that the Word produces and will not return to God empty or void but will accomplish what it was sent to do. We also know from the book of Romans that faith comes from hearing the message and the message from the Word of God.

With that said, only a fool would ignore the Word of God. Look at what God promises to those who give thought to and meditate on God's Word. They will discover good and be blessed! God reveals Himself through His Word. Since we know that God is good, it only serves to reason that a person who gives thought to His Word will discover good and be blessed.

The Word of God is like a field full of treasures. You may have to look for them, but they are worth looking for. To those who take time to study God's Word, they find treasures. God has given us His Word to bless our families, finances, children, pantries, ministries, etc. All we have to do is search for it. Mine the goodness of God out of the depths of His Word. The Word works for those who work the Word!
