He Said

As kids, we were reluctant to do as we were told especially when it was another kid who told us to do something.  A common response was, “yeah, who said?”  That was not, however, a proper response when Mama asked!

What about when God said it: “He hath said …” (Hebrews 13:5)  His Word is His words!  But how can we know His words unless we open His Word!  I love to read, and even enjoy a good [clean] novel, but time in His Word first leaves little time for the [otherwise] pleasure-reading.  Within the last year I asked God to give me a genuine hunger and thirst for His Word, consequently He is ever calling me to His Word.  Matthew Henry describes God’s Word as our “daily resort.”  Mr. Bill and I have a favorite resort in Mexico and all we need, we find on location --  food, lodging, shopping, recreation, entertainment.  Such is the wealth of the Bible! His Word is full of what “He hath said” and is the “source of all wisdom, the fountain of all comfort.”  His words will delight you, strengthen you, encourage you, comfort you, free you, transform you, satisfy you.  You’ll never wonder again, “who said?”  Your response will evermore be … He has said!
