God's Word Shines Truth
Martin Luther’s reminder in the Small Catechism is important: “We should fear and love God that we do not despise preaching and his Word, but regard it as holy and gladly hear and learn it.” God’s Word gives true life by connecting us to our Savior. God’s Word shines truth in our sinful world of lies and deception. Make hearing God’s Word an important part of your life. Listen to God’s Word in worship and you will find continual reasons to make/keep weekly worship a highlight of your routine.
In Psalm 19:7–11 (NIV) we read:
"The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward."
