Which is greater - the world or the Word?

Good morning dear friends.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!

  Today this study is to admonish me about my activities the whole week.  Let me begin by asking which you believe to be the greater:  the Word,  OR  the world?

   So often we let the world take over our life, our activities, our ever being and then may think "that is the way it is", which is wrong.

   The world is vast, where the universe ends no man knows, it is enormous. Yet when we look at Psalm 33:

⁶ By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
    their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
⁷ He gathers the waters of the sea into jars^[a];
    he puts the deep into storehouses.
⁸ Let all the earth fear the Lord;
    let all the people of the world revere him.
⁹ For he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded, and it stood firm.

Now, stop and think which is bigger. There was nothing, then God spoke - verse 6 - "by the word of the LORD the heavens were made".  Yes, the world is huge, and we tend to get caught up in the world, following the world, trying to be like the world, when, in fact, the world is fabricated by the WORD OF GOD!

  John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God".   Sooooo, which is larger - the world or the word?

   We have to stand in faith, the faith of God. Look at Hebrews 11:3 "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

   My point is this:  We tend to get caught up in the world, and yes, God made the world.  Where we stray is when the "things" of the "world" become more important than the "WORD OF GOD" and the world becomes first in our lives.

   The world should be secondary to all we do.  But how can that be you ask, we have to live.  Yes we do.  First thing in the morning open the day with a prayer; then go to the word.  Even if it is just a daily scripture, this is pleasing to God. Eventually, just a word will become a paragraph, a paragraph a page, a page to actual good study of the WORD, which is greater than anything else in the world.

   I have failed miserably this week in my study and that is why I am admonishing myself.  The world got in the way. I need to get the "L" out of wor"l"d and get back to the WORD.  Thank you for reading my rant and I ask for your prayers as I pray for you also.  Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
