Biblical truth standing on its spiritual head to get our eternal attention.

Jeremiah 17:1 – Wonders of the Word – The Word of the Lord

The word of the LORD also came to me saying (Jer.17:1).

This phrase, “the word of the Lord” is found in 255 Bible verses; 51 of those verses are in Jeremiah.

Pardon my “wondering around….”  But…

1) I wonder…Do we say it enough that we are preaching God’s words, and not our own?

2) I wonder…But then again, we must ask ourselves if we are preaching God’s words more than our own?

3) I wonder…When quoting scripture, would the impact be great if we said, “And the Holy Spirit said through Paul…” rather than saying, “And Paul said….”

4) I wonder…When the word of the Lord comes to us, are we ready to accept the bad as well as the good?  Are we willing to accept both equally as the word of the Lord?  The following “word of the Lord” had to be hard to take at first and maybe at last.

5) I wonder…Have we lost the awe that comes from hearing that we are hearing the word of the Lord?
