Perfect Word

We all know what happens in the translation of a message from one person to another: sometimes it loses … or gains … content.  That’s why Mr. Bill uses his personal palm pilot.  Milk or bread or whatever he’s asked to stop for on the way home, he writes it on his hand … his “palm pilot.”  Clever fella!

God always speaks perfectly!  We know this because Jesus said He didn’t “speak His own message [on His own authority]” but [from The Father] delivered “the message that has been given to Him.” (John 16:13)  The Truth of God was ultimately given to us from His Son by the Holy Spirit.  This is how God speaks to each Believer.  Furthermore, God’s words are never idle, not puffs of air like our own.  His thoughts “became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.”  (John 1:14)  How grossly inactive and negligent our words are in reality. Oh, that they were as beneficial and effectual as God’s going forth from us and never returning void and ineffective (Isaiah 55:11)  God desires to accomplish and fulfill His work in and through us by The Truth of The Gospel. If you’ve ever played the Gossip Game in which a message is repeated over and over, you know the laughable distorted end. Let us determine to know and hold fast the Perfect Word [of God], writing It on our hearts, and working It out in how we live.
