Perhaps Today... I Taste the Goodness of the Word of God

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


The Bible is the living, active Word of God, inspired to reveal His heart and transform us. Yet, for some, reading the Bible can feel like eating plain, boring food—it may seem dull without the help of the Holy Spirit. That’s why it’s important to pray before reading, asking the Holy Spirit for revelation and understanding. When we do, Scripture turns into a spiritual feast, like fine dining for the soul.

The Word of God is deeply personal—a love letter from our Abba Father. It reflects His care, His promises, and His faithfulness while also acting as a spiritual mirror that reveals our own hearts. Like a proper meal, we need to take the time to savor the Word, meditating on it and letting it nourish us. Over time, just as we develop an acquired taste for fine foods, we can cultivate a deeper hunger and appreciation for Scripture.

God’s Word transforms. Perhaps today is the day you taste its goodness and experience its life-changing power.

Reflection:
What steps can you take to make Bible reading a daily habit? Consider setting a specific time and following a reading plan.

Prayer:
Abba Father, thank You for Your Word, which is alive and active. Help me develop a hunger for it and learn to savor its truths. I ask for Your Spirit’s revelation, and I pray that Your Word will transform me today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
