The magic of words.....

“The magic of words…..

Lions star Geroy Simon discovered a love of books as an adult and is trying to instill that passion in his children, as a way to keep them entertained and in touch with their heritage.” Vancouver Sun Sept 20, 2012

Interestingly, I found Word/word/words mentioned 959 times throughout the entire Bible, beginning from Genesis 1 (first book of the Bible) and ending in Revelation 22 (end of Bible).
Genesis 1:3 (Creation through God’s Words)
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Revelation 22:19
And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.

John 1:1-2
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

How should God’s Words be regarded?

Numbers 15:31
Because they have despised the LORD’s word and broken his commands, they must surely be cut off; their guilt remains on them.’”

Numbers 24:16
the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened.

2 Corinthians 2:17
Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.

Let us remember….

Luke 1:37
For no word from God will ever fail.”
