On Every Page

John 1:1In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. (KJV)

Lois Sweet’s book, “Writing with Spirit,” says all there is to say about writing. It covers everything from researching and interviewing to grammar and ethics, time management and selling. I can skim the text and choose what ideas to make mine and what methods to use in my writing. Ms. Sweet dedicated the book to her aunt, Hannah Moor, “who set the bar high” and the text is generously sprinkled with her life’s writing wisdom. As I read the book in its entirety, I learn about a person, not just a method. As Lois’book is to writing, so the Bible is to living. Our Bibles are not a method or a tool, but an instrument. Only as we read every page, do we discover the person of Jesus Christ spread throughout.

2Timothy 3:16, 17Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience and for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to Gods will in thought, purpose and action), so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work. (AMP)

Prayer: Lord, forgive us for rushing through your Word on the way to another life appointment. Forgive us for only reading the easy sections, the pretty parts, and the happy thoughts. Give us courage to meet both you and your Son, face to face, on every page of your Living Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
