The Wonder of His Word

They are more desirable than gold—than an abundance of pure gold; and sweeter than honey dripping from a honeycomb. —Psalm 19:10

Isn’t it amazing that God chose something as powerful as words to communicate to us His glorious truth? He could have chosen any medium to tell His story. But He chose words, and beautiful, creative, meaningful words at that! In His goodness, He left us the greatest work of literature of all time.

God used a variety of human authors, each infused with His own personality, creativity, and set of life experiences, in crafting a message breathed by God Himself (2 Tim. 3:16). His Word is exactly enough and exactly what we need. It is, in fact, what fallen men have been thirsting for since the beginning of time. Henry David Thoreau recognized, “A written word is the choicest of relics. It is something at once more intimate with us and more universal than any other work of art. It is the work of art nearest to life itself.”¹

Thoreau knew the wonder and the power of words. What he missed was the wonder and power of God’s Word.
