Think about this, we as imperfect beings have never actually said anything perfectly. Even as I write this I know that I will have someone edit and look over what I wrote. We think we express things perfectly or say things perfectly in times but our perfect isn’t perfect by Gods standards. Is it not often that someone who speaks a good word to you that is just the right thing during your circumstances or in that moment, derives it from God’s truth? This comes from a good friend of mine who I was having a conversation with. He brought up the point of how people’s ideas about things seem to always get reworked like, “Augustine says this…but I think it could be better said like this…” but that doesnt happen to God’s Word, because its truth. People don't say, "Well I think Paul could have said this better this way." This point really struck me. It’s just like how the methods of presenting the Gospel change but the Message never does. It’s amazing to think that a never changing and perfect God who created language and first communicated with us presented a message in the only way He knew how which is perfectly, but tailored in such a way that it will relate to us always in this ever changing world. All by knowing exactly how to say something that when read or stated it pierces strait to the heart. This is not just limited to the message of the Gospel but it could be any verse of scripture that has the power to impact your life and always at the right time. There truly is nothing like Scripture.
“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
- Hebrews 4:12 -
