Why is Jesus called the Word?
"And God said, 'Let there be
light,' and there was light." Genesis 1:3 (NIV) All through creation,
The Word created all things. It took just "one word" from "The Word" and
it happened. No doubt about it, His promises are for sure. After all,
words are powerful, but "His" Word is way beyond our imagination. This
is why this Bible verse is so important: "Ask and it will be given to
you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
Matthew 7:7 (NIV) We ask, Jesus responds with His Word, guiding us in
the right direction.
Confused? Ask "The Word"!
Lost? Ask
"The Word"!
Depressed? Ask "The Word"!
Sick? Ask "The
Word"!
"The Word" will always come through. Experience Him and
find out how much He loves you. He will fill you completely: "The thief
(Evil one) comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (Jesus) have come
that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10 (NIV)
Only through "The Word" can we experience real life. Only through
"The Word" will peace invade our souls. The presence of our Heavenly
Father will be within us and we will become joyful because "The Word"
lives in us! "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7
(NIV)
Ask and the Word will answer! So simple!
Before we
left for on our trip to Wisconsin, we prayed that our Heavenly Father
would protect us from adversities. He did!
As we were driving
through our own province, we passed a trailer on the side of the road.
The back axle was completely broken and the tire was completely buried
underneath the broken-down mess. We felt sorry for these poor people and
prayed that CAA would soon come to help them.
What we didn't
anticipate is that our trailer also had a problem. Once we arrived at
our campground in Michigan, we noticed that the steel holder for our
spare tire had nearly broken off completely from the main steel bumper
and was leaning quite dangerously near the road.
As we had no
tools with us, we asked the campground for their help. They gave us a
pair of tiny pliers, but these didn't make any kind of a difference.
While praying, my wife was convinced that she should ask a certain young
man walking nearby if he had the tools to help us. He certainly did!
This guy told us he almost left all his tools home, but somehow he
became convinced that he should bring them...
The man was able to
remove our spare tire and its support, and as we had nothing in the
trunk (boot) of our car, we put the whole contraption safely in its
confines. It could have been so much worse. Our situation could have
paralleled that of those poor people we had seen on the side of the
road. If the holder had snapped completely off the bumper, it would have
fallen to the road and we would have dragged it until the entire bumper
broke off. It could have been a terrible mess!
Interestingly
enough, if nothing had happened and our spare tire holder was showing no
signs of wear, we never would have known that our Daddy had protected us
big time. Thank you, Jesus, for caring for us!
His Word always
come through. Just ask and you will see with your own eyes!
