Imagine words not just heard, but felt. Words that vibrate with energy, that spark life within you. Words that aren’t just instructions, but invitations to adventure, to growth, to love. That’s what the Bible says God’s words are: spirit and life. So, where do you feel God’s words most deeply? Is it in the quiet moments of prayer, the beauty of nature, the lyrics of a song, the kindness of a friend?
Remember that God speaks not just through scripture, but through nature, music, friendship, even silence. Be open to all.
Ask Yourself
How can I listen more deeply, not just with my ears, but with my heart, to discover the spirit and life in God’s words?
Let Us Pray
Open my heart, O Loving God, to the spirit and life in Your words, and help me see the world through their light. Amen.
