Great writers have literally changed the world. Ideas and concepts have been put down in writing forming the way for incredible change in our world. The power of the spoken and written word is incredible. It literally has the power to forge the way for nations to rise and nations to fall. What a gift God has given to us in our ability to speak and write.
A world renowned poet once said...
“The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”
These poetic words have provided counsel and comfort for countless lives throughout the centuries. When David passionately expressed this 23rd Psalm he did so not just in theory or vain hope, but he expressed what he experienced from our great God and King!
Yes, words do indeed have much power in speech and writing and none more so than the Word of God. Thank you Lord, for giving us your powerful Word!
