In my hands I am holding the long-awaited-for mail. It was well packaged for the journey, and the return address signifies that it has come a long way. It's amazing to think of all the exotic countries it has traveled through --the miles of deep ocean it crossed-- places I've only seen in pictures! God's Word, like mail, travels. You and I may never be missionaries outside our native country, but God's Word can go very far through us. We should never be discouraged when God's Word seems slow-moving. What greater vision Christians would have if their first thought of the Bible was this:
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
Reading, studying, and praying God's Letter to us is so important. Without it, we will not be quick and powerful Christians through it. God's Word may only travel through you in simple actions today, but it will not be unnoticed by God. I t s h a l l b e d e l i v e r e d.
"Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days." Ecclesiastes 11:1
