WORD

John 1:1

O God, You are the Word. From the beginning of time, Your words have brought light and life. You speak, and certainly, it will happen; You command, and surely it will come to pass. The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders ... the voice of the Lord is powerful, the voice of the Lord is majestic. O powerful and majestic God, to think You, the Word, became flesh and dwelt among us ... You have brought light and life to men! And I rejoice because my heart and mind have been captivated by Your Word, Jesus Christ! Thank You for becoming the living and active Word on this earth. Help me to follow in Your footsteps so that I may learn of Your ways. O, that I may know You! I humbly thank You that now, today, I can hold the Word of Life in my hands; help me to hold it in my heart! Jesus, my Savior and my Friend, I praise You for speaking words to me that are sharper than any two-edged sword. Continue to pierce my heart with Your voice of light and life and love! For I know and believe: the law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. I crave Your Word; I need Your Word.
