Overview: God's Word is the key to finding peace with God. God’s Word provides power for our personal lives and wisdom, knowledge and understanding beyond any of our wildest dreams, imaginations or expectations. God’s Word is the most complex book ever written that can be understood by a child or by a research scientist searching for the meaning of life. God’s Word is the DNA for our lives. God’s Word reveals the very essence, character, personality and God’s great love for all mankind.
In Psalm 19 David notes that the heavens declare the glory of God and the work of His hands. Since the beginning of time, the night sky and stars have guided men as they navigated the seas. In similar fashion, God’s Word guides us in our lives, each and every day. Since the beginning of time, the stars in their position have been unchangeable in the heavens. So to us, God’s Word remains constant, true and sure, our guidebook, as we navigate through life. We need to realize that the only thing in our lives and in the history of mankind that will never change, is revealed and written in God’s Word.
Meditate on God’s Word and allow His Word to penetrate and permeate your DNA and every cell in your body as you seek to know and to serve Him.

decrees. 13 With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth. 14 I

Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
