The Living Word of YHWH
One of the biggest misconceptions about the Bible is that it’s just another book.
In fact, many Believers treat Scripture as if it’s just a collection of ancient letters and books that inform us about YHWH and religious matters.
While the Bible is certainly a collection of ancient documents, it is also much more than that. It is the very word of YHWH. The Bible is inspired by YHWH, which means He spoke through humans to create these letters and books.
More than that though, YHWH’s Word is living and active. The Holy Spirit uses the Bible to speak to us even today. This is what makes Scripture distinct from any other book.
James tells us in James 1:22-24 that the power of Scripture doesn’t just come by hearing it, but by living it out.
Scripture has the power to radically change the way we live, but we must take the effort to first read it, and then do what it says.
James says that anyone who reads Scripture and doesn’t follow YHWH’s way is only deceiving themselves. We think we are following YHWH simply by reading His Word, but YHWH desires that we live out the truths of Scripture in our own life.
This is what it means to follow YHWH’s way rather than our own.
Take a moment to consider a few ways you can begin to live out the truths in Scripture. Spend some time in prayer asking YHWH to reveal to you an area of your life to transform by His Word. And then, resolve to not just hear YHWH’s Word, but to do what He says as you follow after Him.

Did you know that there are only two things we need to do if we want to have a life filled with joy, a life that pleases YHVH? He wants us to obey Him and thank Him. That's it! That's what we're going to look at today. https://archive.aweber.com/awlist6425868/G19.o
Isaiah 1:19, “If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land.” What does it mean to eat the best of the land? As the Creator is chastising Israel he reminds them that they have a choice or either living the way He designed them and being blessed or continuing in their sin and being miserable. Most people will feel satisfied and content after a good meal and this expression is a reminder of that. Some people seem to enjoy misery or have been trained that they should not be happy and content but the Creator designed us to be joyful, happy and content. The choice is yours.
