The importance of the Scripture

April 17

Daily Bible Reading: Luke 16:1 – 18

Verse of the Day: Luke 16:17 – “But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.”

We so often try to minimize what God has given us in His written word. We pick and choose what we think is important and what can be ignored. If we got together, we probably would find that our lists of what is important and what can be ignored would be different.

Jesus was making a strong point to the Pharisees that all of God’s Word is exactly that. The Word of God. We must be careful in what we want to trivialize in the Scriptures. He uses the extreme of the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet is just as important as the largest. So, what we might consider a minor point in the Scriptures is very important and will remain forever.

Today, ponder what you think about the Bible and its importance to life.

Prayer: May I observe the importance of Your Word in my life today, Heavenly Father.
