majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him in Deuteronomy 31:9,24-26,
"So Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the priests... After
Moses finished writing in a book the words of this law from beginning
to end, he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the
covenant of the Lord: 'Take this Book of the Law and place it beside
the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God.'"
Moses was the first to pen Scripture. God spoke to Moses, and as he
spoke with him he had some things to say to Israel and the rest of the
world. These words became immortalized as Moses reduced them to
writing. It begins the basis of our Bibles and through the ages others
would add to it. Not just anyone was able to add to the pages of the
sacred library - only those who were recognized as being inspired by
the Holy Spirit to do so.
Because Scripture is that which has come from the mouth of God
himself, it is set apart in a sacred library, distinct from all other
literature. Paul tells us that all Scripture is God-breathed, 2
Timothy 3:16. Peter tells us that Scripture never had it's origin in
the will of man. No one ever decided to write a book of the Bible and
did so. Peter says, "Above all, you must understand that no prophecy
of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For
prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from
God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." 2 Peter 1:20-21.
Imagine that! God decided he had some things to say to us. The Creator
of the cosmos. The one who brought all of the spinning galaxies into
being and set them in motion. The author of life itself has something
to say! How important must be that communication! It sits right there
on my coffee table! It contains that which is of unspeakable
importance as within it are found the thoughts, feelings, intentions
and agenda of God himself! He has revealed himself within it's pages!
Anything of the Lord capture your heart from Scripture today? Share
your thoughts of worship with us from your Bible reading today. We'd
love to hear from you!
