The other day Emalynn asked me what my favorite thing is.  It had to be a “noun” and she preferred it to be a material possession…not a person or place…but a “thing”.  She asks me these deep questions right before I leave her room at bedtime…most likely to stay up a little bit later.  I told her it was my Bible.  I told her that in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God (John 1:1).  I told her that the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12).  Today…and everyday…I need Truth.  I am thankful I have a place I can always find it

  As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:10-11
