The Case of the Living Word

Have you ever wondered why some hearts stay restless, while others soar like eagles — steady, unshaken, and envisioning heights?
I recently took up a most unusual invitation into the depths of the Word where I had never been for four months now— GLT God's Love Tabernacle International. My Pastor, Pastor Tayo Akanbi, once said, “A time snubbed to pray is a time snubbed to receive.” And I’ve come to realize — the same goes for the Word. Everything you see, and every person you’ll ever meet, was birthed on earth’s bed from the Word.
But why do men ignore the most powerful Book ever written?
The evidence was staggering.
The Word declares:
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4)
Yet, many starve while seated at a feast.
Driven by holy curiosity, I followed the inquisitive habit of noble seekers:
“Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” (Acts 17:11)
My investigation uncovered what too many have overlooked: the Word isn’t just ancient ink on fragile pages — it’s alive.
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword.” (Hebrews 4:12)
It is a lamp for lost wanderers:
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalm 119:105)
A steady anchor in a decaying world:
“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand forever.” (Isaiah 40:8)
And a promise more enduring than the heavens:
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35)
In that investigation, I learned that those who neglect this Word, neglect life itself. The Word is the surest vault for wisdom and peace:
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” (Psalm 119:130)
But here's where the trail led me deeper — to a discovery most ignore: there’s a divine provision to engage the Word not occasionally, but both morning and night.
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night…” (Joshua 1:8)
And again:
“Blessed is the one whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.” (Psalm 1:2)
Even David testified:
“I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.” (Psalm 119:147)
And
“Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.” (Psalm 119:148)
For those seeking steady hearts and clear vision, this is your clue.
Call to Action:
1. If you’ve felt restless, weary, or lost, it’s time to pick up that Book — morning and night — and investigate for yourself, like the noble Bereans. Your peace, strength, and future are written within.
2. Which Scripture first made you fall in love with the Word? Drop it in the comments — let’s rediscover the power together.
