Deuteronomy 6:7– “Impress (God’s Word; commandments) on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”
“Mommy, tell me the story about how I was born.”
My husband and I recently saw a movie featuring these words several times within an hour and a half film. It brought back memories of my own children asking me to repeat favorite stories to them—and of myself asking my own parents to relate a favorite one to me.
We all love a good story. And, we never get tired of hearing our favorites over and over again.
There are a lot of them in the Bible: David and Goliath, Ruth and Naomi, the birth of Jesus and the visit of the Kings and Wise Men afterward. I could go on and on, but you get the point.
Sometimes the morning message in a church service contains a Bible Story that some of us have heard a dozen times. However, if you’re like me, I find that there is always something “new” when I hear it again.
I gain a new insight. It touches my soul in a deeper place.
Like His Mercies, His Word Is New Every Morning.
It has the power to touch us, heal us, encourage us, speak to us.
His Word is Alive.
When I was a child, we sang a song in church that you may remember. The name of it was: Tell Me The Story of Jesus. It started like this:
Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart every word;
Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard.
It is an old story, isn’t it? But, it is one of which I never tire.
How about you?
Is there someone in your life that needs to hear that story, today?
