It's Within Our Reach

Day 5: It's Within Our Reach

"But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach." — Romans 10:8

Romans 10:14-17, Amos 8:11, Habakkuk 2:14

God has allowed the word to be distributed to millions of people across the world. So many faithful men and women have given their lives to translate and spread God's word. They knew that one day everyone would have access to it. And now that day has come.

We live in a time where we have never had more access to the word of God. The Bible has been translated into more languages than ever before. We have it on our phones, can listen to the word preached all around us, and learn about it from countless sources. God's word is closer to us than ever.

We have it easier than anyone who has lived before us. But just because the word is close to us doesn't mean we have it within us. God warned that a time would come when people would be famished for his word. We could live in a world full of Bibles and never feed off of it. We need to make sure we take what God has given us and feed on it.

"The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea." Habakkuk 2:14

Take-Away

Take time to appreciate that the word of God is near you and available at any time. Don't forget that some still have not received it.

Remember that God gave you access to his word, so take advantage of it. Start a reading habit if you are not currently reading your bible. Allow someone to hear God's word today.

Question

Are you feasting on God's word or going without?

Prayer

Thank you, Lord, for allowing us to read your word. Help us not to take it for granted, and keep reading and learning from it. May we also allow others to hear your word. Amen.
