God’s Powerful Word

“But what does it say? ‘THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART’--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” Romans 10:8-10

It is my prayer that I would never take my salvation or God’s Holy Presence in my life for granted and I’ve found that one way to guard against this is daily study of His word. It is through daily prayer and reading of the word that we become familiar with God’s precepts and as those precepts become more and more familiar they become more and more a part of who we are as believers. Knowing the word and having it near, in our hearts and in our mouths enables us to speak that word of faith whenever He directs. Join me today in praying that the Holy Spirit would renew and empower you to stand for Him no matter what situation you might face. Believe Him and be mindful that it is what we’ve hidden in our hearts that reveals to the world who we really are.

Today we are again reminded that it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. Words are powerful and confessing Jesus as Lord results in salvation!
