John 1:1-5 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.<\/p>\n

Now that you have read those verses, take a minute, go back, and read them again.<\/p>\n

But this time, take your time. Read them slowly, as though you have never seen them before.<\/p>\n

Take the time needed to allow each word to penetrate. Allow God to speak to you through those words.<\/p>\n

Try to process what they mean in their fullness.<\/p>\n

If we were to read those words and try to understand them solely by our own intellect, they would mean nothing to us.<\/p>\n

They would likely sound senseless.<\/p>\n

Why is that?<\/p>\n

Because they were inspired and written under the power of the Holy Spirit. They are words spoken by God Himself, to a human writer.<\/p>\n

The depth of God\u2019s word is sometimes beyond our comprehension. This can often cause us to skim right over it, completely missing the immense truth staring us in the face.<\/p>\n

But this is where our reliance on God\u2019s Spirit really starts to become obvious to us.<\/p>\n

As we spend time in His word, we begin to see how dependent we truly are on Him to teach us and help us grow as His children.<\/p>\n

Knowing this, it is critical for us to immerse ourselves in His word in a way that allows Him to use that word to transform us, changing the way we think and understand.<\/p>\n

Doing this will surely challenge us intellectually, causing us to begin to rely more heavily on Him, and less on our human understanding.<\/p>\n

And the change that He orchestrates in us will blow us away when we look back over time and see who we have become compared to who we once were.<\/p>\n

Only by the power of God can this happen.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
