A few words on The Word....

I have a shower curtain in my upstairs bathroom that has some inspirational quotes on it.  The other day I was looking at the curtain and one of the quotes reminded me of some notes I had written for myself quite some time ago.  The quote is "The grass will wither and the flowers may fall, but God's Word will live forever". Isaiah 40:8.

God's Word, what do you think of when you hear God's Word?  I think the general understanding of the term would be the words in the Bible or in any of the Holy Books. I believe that God's Word can be heard in many ways.  I believe God's Word is every song that has been sung, every poem ever written, every note ever played, every dance ever danced, and every loving touch that has been given.  It is also heard in the, laughter of children,  chirping of the birds,  sounds in the wind, and raindrops. Any sound that makes you feel deep inside your Soul is the Word of God. 

Have you ever been touched by a song, poem, or dance?  Has the loving touch of another at just the time you need it most ever melted your heart?  I believe God's Word is not just in the Holy Manuscripts, it is in everything at all times.  If we listen with our hearts we cannot miss the sound of God.  Even in the silence we can hear God. 

Think of all the times you have heard God's Word..... What is it saying to You?
