READ: Psalm 19: 7–11
And if any man hear my words and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. :-John 12:48
It is important to respect the Word. Peter showed great respect for the Word of God. He said, “…Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net” (Luke 5:5)
When the Word of God takes the highest position in your life, you are stirring up the power of God. As soon as Peter said, “At thy word,” he was telling Jesus that he had great respect for His words. Peter was telling Jesus that His Words were more important than Peter’s opinions.
Telling someone that his words mean so much is to express great love and trust in the person. Any time someone has told me that they would do what I say just because I am saying it, I have felt great power and compassion towards the person. I have a sensing of trying to do something to help the person, just because the person thinks that my words are important.
Every time God sees your response to His Word, He is seeing your response to Him as a Person. Remember that we are all in trouble because Adam and Eve set aside God’s Word and trusted the serpent’s word more. The Lord God was greatly offended that they would trust the serpent that they had just met, instead of He who created them and had given them such opportunities in the Garden of Eden.
Do not set aside the Word of God and you will experience the power of God. Every word of God about every aspect of your life is important for you. At His Word, your life must change. At the Word of God, you must take important decisions. This will stir up the power of God in your life and ministry.
