Solomon once said every word of God is flawless. And Paul explains everything in the Scripture is God’s word, all of it is useful for teaching and helping people, and correcting them and in how to live.

‘O my dear Lord, may your words of truth live within me and guide me as your mother desires. As both you and she had once said, to read the words of the Scripture which are the words made flesh, words of the light that strengthen and edify our souls. I pray to be immersed in the eternal joys of your word, that I may mature in my childlike ways and be obedient to all truth with a reverent love for you, my Lord.’

The question has been asked to me, “How do we grow closer to God?”- through his invitation to pray and read the words of the power of the Scripture to enlighten, to strengthen our bond and our relationship with Christ to guide us through the power of the Holy Spirit.

For Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth and I am the life’ for all souls.

In that life is his Word living within us, the Word made flesh, Jesus, living and breathing within us.
