The children of Israel saw God’s glory. Exodus 24:17 says, “The sight of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire…” Yet in the sight of His glory they turned to a false god of their own making. Exodus 32.

Unaffected. Unless we implant God’s word into the root cellar of our hearts, we will be unaffected by the truths of His word. Reading print on a page is just that. Joshua 1:8 says that we are to observe to do.

God’s word is alive and powerful. As I read through my Bible, the Holy Spirit highlights what He wants me to notice. God’s word holds timeless truths. His word speaks to us differently as we go through the various seasons in our lives. 

Familiar passages may hold a phrase that seems to light up. Revelational insight illuminates and enhances our understanding. Truth is driven in deeply to uproot a hidden lie that we had believed.
