Storing Up The Word
“Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!” (Job 19:23-24)
Today’s Morsel: Have you ever wondered why there is always so much information revealed about folks whom we see as famous, or that are seen as great leaders? Well, in most cases it is because someone took notice of them and kept good notes and records of them when they were growing up. I’m sure most of them, such as a president, never thought that the things that they did in life would resurface about them. But, as Moses said, we live our lives as a tale that is told. Just think about the Bible for a moment. Someone kept good notes and a record of all the things that God did from creation to today so that we would have hope, as Paul said (Romans 15:4). Job said, “Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!” (Job 19:23-24) Job wanted his life story to be recorded and stored up so that they would be remembered for future use by others. Job knew that God would come through for him and that others would be inspired. And his word was recorded and stored. James even tells us, “Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.” (James 5:11) Paul said that we are epistles known and read of all men. Someday, should the Lord tarry, someone is going to read your life’s story. What will the pen have recorded of your life that will inspire others on in Christ?
Sing: Look what the Lord have done. Look what the Lord have done. He heal my body, He touched my mind, He saved me in the nick of time, oh, I’m going to praise His name, each day He’s just the same, I’m going to praise Him, I’m going to praise Him, look what the Lord have done.
Thought For Today: “Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.” (2 Thessalonians 2:15)
