  • The Living Wird: A Reality by: Gail Nobles

    As we gather in the warmth of fellowship, let us turn our hearts and minds to the extraordinary miracle taking place every time we open the pages of the Bible. This is not merely an ancient collection of texts. What we hold in our hands is the living Word of God—a divine narrative that continues to unfold in our lives and in the world around us.

    The Apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Timothy 3:16 that "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness ." Each time we read these sacred scriptures, we are not bound by the dust of history; instead, we are invited into a lively conversation with the Creator of the world. When we open the Bible, God speaks afresh to us, guiding, challenging, and comforting us right where we are.

    Let us consider the story of the Prodigal Son, a parable told in Luke 15. Though centuries old, its truth remains relevant today. Every day, countless individuals experience the struggle of wandering away from their true identity, lost in the noise and chaos of life. Yet, the moment they turn to the Father—as the Prodigal did—they find not condemnation, but compassion and grace. This narrative is not just a story; it’s a reality being lived out in our communities, in our families, and even within ourselves.

    We read in Philippians 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." This is not a past promise, but a present reality. Friends, we see this promise manifested every day as we witness God providing for those in need, restoring hope where despair has taken root, and bringing peace in the middle of chaos. The Bible is alive because the God it reveals is alive and working among us.

    Let us also reflect on the words of Isaiah 40:8: "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." In a world that often changes like the shifting sands, the truths of scripture remain firm. They are for today, tomorrow, and every day thereafter. When we declare that the Bible is "happening," we affirm that it is relevant, transformative, and powerful in our daily lives.

    So, as you engage with Scripture, remember that it is not of the past, but an active and living force. It challenges us to action, calls us into deeper faith, and reminds us that we are part of a grander story—God's story, which is still being written.

    Let us pray, then, that our eyes may be opened to see the Word actively at work in our lives, that we may hear it connecting in our hearts, and that we might share this living truth with a world that desperately needs it.
