The WORD is My Song

In July of 2004, the Arizona Game and Fish Department began nursing more than 30 emaciated, dehydrated, banged-up pelicans. During the previous two weeks, the injured pelicans had been found from Yuma to Phoenix.

The brown pelicans were injured when they descended from the sky, sailed low over sidewalks and asphalt highways, stretched out their feet as though to make a perfect splash landing in water, and then tumbled end over end when they instead hit the pavement.

The pelicans, apparently suffering a food shortage in California, flew to Arizona looking for fish. From the sky, the shimmering hot air over the black asphalt appeared to the Pelicans like water. Down they flew for fish and a refreshing dip in a lake. What they found instead was solid pavement, dehydration, hunger, and near death. Reality hits hard.

Reality has a way of doing that.  You need something buried deep inside that gives you strength and direction.  You need a compass and a constant source of nourishment.  For Nehemiah and the people of Israel, God's word became just that.  It was a song buried in their hearts for moments when nothing else could help. Just read the Bible and you'll see ... Moses, Miriam, David, Mary ... they all sang the song.  The Word of God became a song embedded in their hearts … a song that played over and over again in every moment of their lives … it never really left them …

Remember this about the Word of God …
1. It is life-saving.
2. It is life-giving.
3. It is life-transforming.

The Word of God penetrates deep into your life and becomes the song that guides every move you make … the sway and beat of your life moves to the rhythms of His Word.
