No doubt you will recognize that portion of scripture from John 1:1. Let's focus on that today. God and His Word are the same. The Word is God and God is His Word. You will not separate God from His Word. Not "one jot or one tittle" of His Word is unimportant to Him. Every Word that comes out of His mouth has a purpose. AND, He has a plan for His Word before He ever speaks it. Think about that sentence for a minute. BEFORE He spoke ANY Word, He had a plan IN HIS HEART. BEFORE He spoke ANY Word, He looked at HIS vast resources, He looked at HIS vast army of angels and double checked His heart before He said to Himself, "I am well able to accomplish this." My goodness, I want to get up and shout right now but I've got a wife and children still asleep and I need to finish this so I won't be late for work.
God spoke to His best friend Abraham and told him his promised children would be slaves to a foreign nation. Then, He said "AND" I will judge that nation , "AND" they will come out rich. (Gen 15:14) Those folks went through some times that caused them many heartaches and tears, BUT HIS WORD WAS STILL GOD. Circumstances that he could not understand caused Moses to run to the backside of the desert for 40 years, BUT HIS WORD WAS STILL GOD. When Moses came back to bring the children of Israel out of bondage, a lot of God's people did not believe Moses. BUT HIS WORD WAS STILL GOD, and Moses kept on believing and being obedient. God had a plan for His Word. Pharaoh wasn't too excited about Moses' message, either. BUT HIS WORD WAS STILL GOD, and God did not care what Pharaoh thought. Pharaoh made it rougher on God's people, BUT HIS WORD WAS STILL GOD. After the people believed, after Moses performed the first couple of miracles it still didn't LOOK LIKE it was ever going to happen. Things did not get better, they got worse. BUT HIS WORD WAS STILL GOD.
Daddy's perk up your ears and your hearts. I'm fixing to say something that should not only convict you but cause you GREAT hope. Whether the majority of the Hebrews believed it or not did not deter the Almighty God from performing His Word. Five hundred years previous to the actual event, THE FATHER of those millions of slaves "believed in the Lord and He counted it to him for righteousness" (Gen 15:6). Daddy Abraham's faith in what God told him OBLIGATED God to overlook ALL the unbelief and ALL the horrible circumstances that surrounded the Hebrew children at that time. God was obligated, NOT ONLY BY HIS WORD but, also by the fact that Abraham "died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them," (Heb 11:13). Did any of you catch that? Abraham saw them afar off. He believed the Word of God so much that He actually SAW in his heart his children marching out of bondage with great wealth. Don't think so, huh? Take a gander at the words of Jesus in John 8:56--Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
Abraham had it settled in his heart that God was His Word and His Word was God concerning his children. C'mon Daddies. Do something. Be da man about the Word of God. Get somewhere by yourself, get the schmuck out of your life and BELIEVE THE WORD of God about your children and their future Dt 28:1,4. HIS WORD IS STILL GOD no matter what it looks like and no matter who thinks they are in charge of the United States. God will always be His Word, and His Word will always be GOD. Now, shout for a while and pass this on.
