It is Never Old
The Holy Spirit had prompted me to read a passage in the Bible that I had not read in a long time. It was the book of Amos. Amos was a minor prophet who spoke to the people of Israel and Judah about the coming judgement God had placed on them. After I finished reading this short book, I immediately got on my knees and repented.
Later that morning I was sharing with my husband what I had read. I then heard myself say, “The word of God never gets old.” The Holy Spirit started to give me an example. He said, “Just like I go to bed with my husband every night and the experience never gets old.” We always have different conversations and fun quiet times together. We chat about our day and any issues that came up. It is always a new conversation!
The Holy Spirit then showed me that the word of God is the same way. He said, “No matter how long you have been with your husband, you are always learning something new about him.” He said, “Reading the word is the same. Every time you read about me, I bring you a new revelation about who I am.” You can never just read the Bible once, or twice and think you know God and understand all of who he is. His word is inexhaustible and you will never be able to fully know all of him until we are face to face!
He then reminded me of the passage, “You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, Deuteronomy 11:18-20, ESV
Every moment God has something new to teach us about himself! But we have to seek him out and listen to how he speaks to us through his creation in everyday life. If we seek him, he is sure to be found. If we ask him about himself, he will answer. He is just waiting on us to open the door of our hearts! Pick up the Bible and let him tell you all about who he is. I promise you that he will reveal to you something new! His word never gets old!
His Word is ancient, but it is never old.
Seek to know God.
