“Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel assembled to me, because of the transgression of those who had been carried away captive, and I sat astonished until the evening sacrifice.” Ezra 9:4 NKJV
We used to sing this song in church, I think in children’s church or Bible study class: “God has something to say, God has something to say, listen, listen, pay full attention, for God has something to say.”
Brothers and sisters, what’s your attitude towards the word of God? I have met people who have no respect for the word of God; they boldly tell you to keep the Bible aside! In church they don’t pay attention to the word, and they always argue about what God’s word says. Check the lives of those people; it’s nothing to write home about.
God said in Isaiah 66:1-2, “Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest? For all those things My hand has made, and all those things exist,’ Says the Lord. ‘But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word.” Your attitude to the word of God determines God’s response and His attitude to you! Why? Because God and His word are one. Even today, you can be free of every sickness and problem in your life by just reverencing His word because His word is powerful!
Prophetic Declaration
I have a right attitude to the word of God. As I go to church today, my mind, body and spirit are ready to receive the word of God. I esteem God’s word more than anything else in this life.
