You already know what I'm going to comment on today! I love love love this verse. So encouraging, so inspiring, and so reminds me of the God that I serve.
"Where the word of a king is, there is power!" (Ecl. 8:4)
Do we realize that we have a book full of the Words of a King! And in this book there is power! It's not the pages, it's not the book, but it's WHO the words came from... from the God of all creation, from our Savior and King, and inspired through the power of the Holy Spirit.
What God has said, He will do. His Word does NOT return unto Him void. He is faithful and true! And His Words bring power to mind and strength to our soul.
"There is nothing more calculated to strengthen the intellect than the study of the Scriptures. No other book is so potent to elevate the thoughts, to give vigor to the faculties, as the broad, ennobling truths of the Bible. If God’s word were studied as it should be, men would have a breadth of mind, a nobility of character, and a stability of purpose that is rarely seen in these times." (Christian Education, p. 58)When a king speaks, people listen... there is power in his words, people leap to obey his commands.
We have a King and He has spoken.... will we listen to His words?
Tomorrow's Reading: Ecl. 10-11 and 1 Tim. 2
