“Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7 KJV). Taking God at His Word means God will not do anything without revealing it through His Word, and that through His prophets. “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (2Peter 1:21). All issues of life and thoughts of our heart are revealed by the Holy Spirit through His Word. “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). Remember, taking God at His Word means God means what He says and says what He means without taking away figurative, poetic, parabolic, or similitude language. Scripture interprets Scripture, since Scripture is the Word of God, not merely containing God’s Word — requiring human scholarship to tell the difference. Since “every word of God is pure” (Proverbs 30:5) and “Scripture cannot be broken” (John 10:35), then we can rely upon every part of God’s Word to support every other part without exception. “Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and Thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by Thy name, O LORD God of hosts” (Jeremiah 15:16). Father, make Your Word to be unto us more precious than our very human life. Wake up Your Church. Cause us to realize and embrace Your Word, which we have taken for granted. Inspire us to obey Your Word. Lord Jesus, return quickly. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen and amen.
