God's Word

Psalm 119:114
You are my refuge and my shield: I have put my hope in your word.

The amazing people of El Salvador continue to teach me great lessons. Lessons that have been life changing for me. I pray that the lesson this week will never leave me because I think it is the greatest lesson of all.

Today we held the key giving ceremony. We have a big celebration where the home owners as well as the community gather together and we celebrate the completion nif the homes. We have worship, preaching, food and piñatas. It is a huge celebration. The families receive the keys to their homes but also a Spanish bible. After receiving the Bibles some people hugged them to their chests, one homeowner carefully wrapped it in a plastic bag to protect it, a number of men brought them to the back and were pouring over the scriptures. Do I hunger for the word of God? Do I realize the priceless treasure God has given me? The answer would be no. I take the word of God for granted. I have access to the bible at all times. I have overlooked this priceless gift that I have been given. Oh God may we hunger for your word and realize this irreplacable gift we have been given.
