His word is perfect.

This semester I long for it to be different. I long for it to have impact for the kingdom of God. My hearts desire is for Jesus to awaken my campus for HIS glory. One way that is going to happen is if I'm relying on the word of God to be perfect.
Many times I feel like "Christians" in today's society including myself don't respect the power of God's word. We often think that we have to come up with catchy phrases or elaborate sentences that will touch someone enough to repent to God. Or we think that if we use the word of God while we talk to people, they may think we're crazy or a bible nerd. However, this mindset is wrong.
This morning in my quiet time I came across a powerful truth.
Psalms 19:7-14
"The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.......more to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter than honey...Let the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord my rock and my redeemer."

HIS WORD IS PERFECT. His word revives the soul. The testimony of Jesus is sure. Meaning what Jesus has done and is doing in your life matters, it's a sure way of showing light of the gospel of Christ to those around you who are captivated by the darkness of this world. His word is better than gold. His word is better than any phrase or sentence that our earthly minds can make up. "His ways are higher, His thoughts are greater than ours." His words are the only words that can penetrate the heart of man and in return cause man to repent unto Him. As the body of Christ we need to stop relying on our flesh to change people and rely solely upon the word of God.

Jesus let the words of my mouth declare your word. Jesus let the mediation of my heart be on your word. When my life is centered around your word I know that my heart will be acceptable before your sight. Thank you that you go before me and that your word will not return void. Your word is sharper than any two edged sword.

Today, I pray that your word come forth in every conversation that I have. That I'm able to speak life into people because your word brings forth life. YOU ARE THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. I pray that people are changed by your words alone.
