I Have A Problem

I have a problem..................Thin paper, red ink, bonded leather and a silver imprint of my name, is sadly what my mind will picture as God's "only" words. Thin paper, red ink, leather and silver imprint is nothing closer to explaining God and His ways than tuna and bread. It is the word and the meaning that make it all come alive. God is not held back by pen and paper, for pen and paper could never explain to man, the fullness of God. All ink can do is bring us to a point of amazement, and unless that amazement stays, we will never be ready for the fulfilment of God. For example, a deer, whether it knows a car is coming or not, will get hit if it is in the middle of the road. Likewise, as humans we can read what pen and paper tell us, but it could never fully prepare us for the fullness of God's glory. For even Paul says he was caught up into the third heaven and saw things that could not be explained. How much more will it be like when we stand before the Lord in all of His glory as He judges our deeds? Surely God's word is not only mere words that one reads, but is in fact that which lives in our hearts, burning as a fire and cleaning out that which corrupts us. Jesus Christ our Lord! He is a consuming fire that constantly renews us in our walk. He it is that prepares us for the presence of God, though it will still shock us whether we're ready or not. Not only is the word of God something we read or hear, it is also something that lives, both in the heavens above and the earth below and here is what amazes me the most.........the word lives in the heart of man. The word which brought forth the mountains to rise, the thunder to sound, the waves to crash, this word didn't stay as something we only hear and read, but something we can see and feel.In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14"And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten Father", and yet some how this glorius Word has some how, beyond my understanding, fit Himself into a human shell, laid aside His glory and become humble and meek, to take our cross and our shame. So that He might once again amaze me, by fitting Himself into my heart. For no longer is the word of God only on paper, it is written on our hearts, if we allow Him to write His way in, and believe me, He has alot to write in us. Does that not amaze you? That God in all of His glory and magesty, would set that all aside, come down to His creation, which man ruined, and pay the price so that He might live in us. According to mans view of things, this doesn't make sense at all. It is easy, in our feeble minds, to only read from the words in a book, then meditate on the living Word. But don't take me wrong, those words in that book, with the thin paper, red ink, bonded leather and silver imprint, those are God's words, and He has lovingly given them to us, as a gift. But many there are, who have taken the gift and closed God out, acting like He has nothing else to say. Believe me, God has plenty to say, now lets hear Him speak.Thin paper, red ink, bonded leather, and my name imprinted with silver, may hold God's word for me to read and hear, but I need to be ready to see and feel the Word of God, who both died and rose again, that I might be saved and spend eternity with Him forever.
