“And now, brethren, I commend you to
God, and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give
you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified” – Acts 20:32
LIGHT FOR THE NOW: The Word of God is the overall life builder.
In our text for today, the Apostle Paul
reveals that the Word of God is the ultimate builder of lives. All over the
world, people spend time, energy and money to make themselves better. Some
enroll in the best schools to get a good education and build their intellect.
Others spend countless hours in the gym to put their bodies in shape. Some
travel over the world to attend seminars to acquire business acumen. As good as
all these activities are, nothing is as powerful as the word of God. The word
of God is the overall life builder. No matter what state your life may be, if
you can give attention to the word of God, it will build you up spiritually,
mentally, financially and physically. This is the reason Apostle Paul was so
confident to leave the brethren in the care of the word of God.
Are you in need of a good intellect? The Word
of God says you have a sound mind (2Timothy 1:7). Do you want to grow
spiritually? The Word of God is your spiritual body builder (1Peter 2:2). Do
you want success in business and life in general? The word of God is your tool
for building permanent success (Joshua 1:8). Are you desirous of good health
and vitality? The Word of God is medicine to your body (Proverbs 4:22). The
Word of God is designed to build your life and make you a success. The Word of
God can make you what God wants you to be without struggles. Remember, Jesus
told His first disciple; “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men”
(Matthew 4:19). God’s word is the panacea for total life building. It will take
you from where you are now and make you the person of your dreams. Therefore,
you must begin to build your life on it today.
INSTRUCTION: Receive the Word. Let the Word build you up.
PRAYER: Father, I am built up by your word, in Jesus
Name. Amen.
QUOTE: When Grace kidnaps you, no ransom is
demanded.
