Hebrews 1:1-2 

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

It can be an easy thing to do to look back on the time of the prophets in a sense of wishful thinking. We think that if we had been so blessed as Moses, to encounter the Lord through the burning bush, our faith would be so much stronger and fuller. Or we may think, if we had Daniel’s receiving of great visions of heavenly truth, we would know Him so much deeper than we can do today. 

It’s an understandable thought, but one that reveals the often lingering doubts of faith we can struggle with each day. For God’s Word tells us, that we in the last days of history, are blessed to know Him through a single, always available revelation of the very Godhead, that is Jesus Christ. We can know God fully through His Son and His Word, the Holy Bible, in a manner that was not available to the prophets of old. We can all come together in knowing God not in variableness of personal experience, but in singularity of truth that is the Holy Bible. Through this eternal gift of God that is His Word, we can see for ourselves, how Jesus is the Son of God, our Creator and our Redeemer. This truth then becomes the foundation of our experience of faith, so that we may know the things that are truly of God, and those which are not. 

Let’s thank the Lord with fullness of heart every day, for the gift that is His Word. Let us never neglect its pages, for the words therein are the words of life. Let’s look to guard their purity of truth, and seek the Lord’s enabling to do so, living in trust that He will provide wherever His will is sought and lived. Let’s pray for the strength of faith, the courage of heart, and the meekness of ways, to live the words we treasure. So that all will see how God’s Word can bring the hope of Heaven, to even the most troubled heart. 

In God’s Word, we have enough, for by it comes His grace, which is truly sufficient. Amen.
