Day 1:The Living Word
DevotionalHave you ever received a love letter? The anticipation of opening it, the care taken to read every word, and the joy of knowing someone took the time to write their thoughts just for you. The Bible is God's love letter to humanity - not just a collection of historical facts or scientific principles, but a deeply personal message from our Creator. When we approach Scripture, we're not simply reading an ancient text; we're engaging with the living words of God Himself. This divine authorship sets the Bible apart from every other book ever written. It's not merely a book about God - it's a book from God, carefully preserved through generations to reach you today.
Bible Verse
"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." - Matthew 4:4
Reflection Question
How would your approach to reading the Bible change if you viewed each session as a personal meeting with God rather than just reading another book?
Quote God wrote a book and the question is whether you hold it dear as a treasure that you own today.
Prayer
Dear Father, help me to treasure Your Word as the precious gift it is. Open my heart to receive Your message with joy and anticipation, knowing that You wrote it with me in mind. Amen.
