Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. (Psalm 46: 10)
When we come to know God through His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and when we will be still and know that God is God, the Lord will give us revelation through the Bible, which is the Word of the Lord.
Even Jesus said, Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Matthew 24: 35)
King David wrote, Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalm 119: 105)
Paul the Apostle wrote, Let the word of God dwell in you richly in all wisdom; (Colossians 3: 16)
With respect to the Holy Spirit, Jesus said,
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. (John 16: 13)
The Word of God is from the mind of God. God is living, and His words are living words. His Word is alive, and His Word gives us truth and light. God's Word opens our minds to more truth that is in Him, which He will gladly give to us freely if we will diligently seek Him. Not only does God want us to know Him, but He also wants us to know more of Him.
As it is written,
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counselor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen. (Romans 11: 33-36).
Knowing this, then we can believe that the universe came forth from the mind of God: or that the universe had its beginning in the mind of God: and that which is in the mind of the Lord became the visible universe which we can behold with our eyes: or that which was invisible became visible, which became God's wonderful, colorful world of creation, for it is written:
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, and the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. (Genesis 1: 1-2)
In the beginning, the universe was a world of darkness, but God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (Genesis 1: 3)
In other words, God created the universe by merely speaking!
At the tomb of Lazarus, Jesus said, Lazarus, come forth. (John 11: 43) And Lazarus lived again because of Jesus merely speaking!
Thus, when we look to God through the Word of God, we will see through the eyes of God, and not through the eyes of humans. In so doing, we will see with new eyes and with a new and greater understanding. And we will find ourselves wanting to know more of Him.
Likewise, when we look through the Word of God, we will see through the eyes of God, and we will see the birth, death, and resurrection of Christ with new eyes, and with new understanding.
But if we do not look through the Word of God, we will still see creation with eyes of darkness, and without understanding.
And if we do not look through the Word of God, we will not see the birth, death, and resurrection of Christ with new eyes, for we will still be looking at Christ through the eyes of darkness, and without understanding.
Through the Word of God, however, we will know that God is always thinking about us, for we are always in the mind of God, and His knowledge and love of us never passes away.
Jesus said,
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, or gather unto barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? (Matthew 6: 26)
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. (Matthew 10: 31)
The Bible is truly a miracle from God: it is the greatest book ever written, the greatest story ever told!
