Mighty Words

Mirrors are for serious reflection! In most bathrooms, the \mirror is a key fixture; we decoratively frame it, clean it to a sparkle-shine, and rarely ignore what it reflects. How often, however, do we consider our spiritual reflection? Unlike the attention we give to our physical reflections, we tend to neglect the spiritual. Jesus prayed for His followers: “For their sake I consecrate Myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.” (John 17:19, ESV). While God's Truth is altogether sanctifying (making us holy), we first must know His Truth. It's interesting how followers of Jesus devote so little time to God's Word. Reading and meditating on His words isn't just a spiritual exercise, it is a daily discipline; there's no other way to know Christ intimately.  Considering all the lies that come at us [from all directions], we're left defenseless to recognize or defend against the lies unless God's Truth is in us! Let God's children be encouraged and grateful for The Holy Scriptures - read and reflect on them, commit them to memory and remember "thus says the Lord" ... mighty words.
