Sounds delicious doesn’t it!

Leftovers!….Re-heated food.

Just what I wanted for those special times.

Actually, leftovers aren’t bad sometimes…I’ve had some pretty good leftovers.

But, all the time? Nahhh…

You know what? Some of us eat leftovers all the time when it comes to the Word of God…the Bible.

We’ll listen to the radio…a good sermon…a Sunday School lesson…a small group discussion…a podcast…but find it very difficult to get the Bible out, sit down, and read it for ourselves….therefore…missing out on being taught by God Himself. Settling for spiritual leftovers.

Check out these two sweet deals God has given His people:

1 – God is with us and will teach us.

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” (John 14:26 ESV)

The Holy Spirit is God. He is with everyone who has a genuine relationship with Jesus. He lives inside us. And He will teach us as we sit, read and reflect on His Word. Yes! God Himself teaching us…speaking to us. Wow!

2 – His Word works in us as we read it and reflect on it.

“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two- edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12 ESV)

Powerful. Any and every believer has direct access to being taught by God Himself, personally!!! And to come under the blade of the Chief Heart Surgeon.

Whhaaaatttt!!!! That’s sick!

Who would want leftovers when we can get it first hand!!!!

How about it? You wanna grab that Bible…a cup of java…and hang with God a little. He might just show you something you’ve never seen. He’s good like that!!!
