Bible Reading: 1 Kings 12:22, 1 Chronicles 17:3, & Luke 3:2
“But this word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God…” 1 Kings 12:22.
“…That night the word of God came to Nathan…” 1 Chronicles 17:3.
“…The word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the desert.” Luke 3:2
What do these three verses have in common?
They all speak of “the word of God” coming to someone.
The Word of God is one of the names given to Jesus in the Bible (See John 1:1). When the Word of God spoke to these people, that meant that God didn’t send them a letter or an e-mail, God came personally and spoke to those people. God gave them the information that they needed to live wise and godly lives and to avoid pain and punishment.
God still comes to speak to us today. He speaks through the Bible. He speaks though the words of wise people. He speaks through the nudging of His Holy Spirit in our heart and mind.
What is God saying to you?
Are you listening to Him?
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1
