The Living Word

(Pro 2:6 KJV) For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

I have not kept a written record but my memory tells me that serious Christians have times when a verse in the Bible will take on new meaning.  They may have read it frequently and heard others quote it but suddenly there is a time when it jumps out at them and grabs them by the essentials.  That is because the inspiration is not tied to ink on a page or the insights of a translator but the result of the Holy Spirit breathing into it and us.  

This is why it is important to keep a steady diet of basic truth.  It is like getting plenty of sleep and washing your hands regularly.  You never know when you are going to need that extra bit of energy or when a bug is waiting to invade your body.  

So?  Take some time to give God a chance to speak to you.  He may be trying and you are not paying attention.
