#soap # Jeremiah 15 ## Title: God’s Word Is Life ## Scripture: (Jeremiah 15:16) “As your words came to me, I drank them in, and they filled my heart with joy and happiness because I belong to you, O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies.” (NET) ## Observation: Imagine you received an email from the richest person alive. The subject of the email promised to teach you all their secrets to success. They were willing to teach you with that email. Not only would they give you some “how tos,” they also included several stories of people who got it right and people who got it wrong. Would you read it? Of course you would. You would probably print it out and start studying that email. You would dissect every word and even try to find meaning within the meaning of the plain text. You would find yourself becoming obsessed and remind yourself the email was meant to teach you how to live, not teach you how to only learn. You would have to seek balance, but be constantly drawn back to the words. You would be caught quoting it all the time. The God of the Universe has given us His Words. They promise us eternal life, wholeness for our broken places, and they guide us through every season. We should read it like it’s an email from the most successful person alive… because it is so much more. ## Application: Read God’s Word every day like it has been passed down specifically to you. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for giving us Your Word.
