Today's reading: Acts 18-19
"Meanwhile, a Jew named Apollos, an eloquent speaker who knew the Scriptures well, had just arrived in Ephesus from Alexandria in Egypt. He had been taught the way of the Lord and talked to others with great enthusiasm and accuracy about Jesus. However, he knew only about John's baptism. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him preaching boldly in the synagogue, they took him aside and explained the way of God more accurately." Acts 18:24-26 NLT
I believe these three verses might possibly sum up why I have so dearly fallen head over heels in love with the Word of God.
It's alive.
It's active.
It's far reaching.
In this passage alone we find that the Bible, when handled and explained correctly by godly men and women, can go more deeply, reach much higher and exceed our understanding.
Isn't that amazing?
No matter how many times we pick it up and crack open it's pages, we can be amazed!
No matter the number of times we hear of an account in we can be transformed!
No matter how often we read and re-read a Psalm it can calm us and set our minds more firmly the Lord!
No matter how many times we read through the account of the crucifixion we can still be stirred by the amount of love Jesus showed for us!
Are you getting into it often enough? Are you allowing it to seep into your pores? To change your heart and mind? To get under your skin? To upset your apple cart?
