Asking The Word

Sunday, July 26, 2020

In the Book of Acts, the account is recorded where Paul speaks to the people of Berea. The writer of Acts then records that the Bereans searched the word to see if the things Paul said were really true. But the Greek word, translated as "searched" can also mean "asked," "questioned," "inquired of." In other words, it can be taken, not only as if they searched through the word, but as if they "asked" the word, they "questioned" the word. We should be more like the Bereans, not only in that we check everything out with the word, but that we learn what it means to "ask" the word, to speak to it, to be engaged in a dynamic relationship with the word, knowing that the word of God is alive. Learn what it is to be engaged in a living conversation with the word... where you bring to the word every question you have, every problem, every need, and you let the word answer your every question, your every problem, and your every need. For the word of God is from the mouth and heart of God. Go ahead... ask it... and it will speak.
