Much More than Words

[S] John 5:39-40 --
39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; 40 and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.

[O] A fair warning against focusing on the wrong purpose when doing my devotions.  The words out of the Bible alone is not where I tap into the real source of strength and power of God.  These words are merely the pointers and guidance for me to navigate myself to the real source.  If I am unwilling to come to the source that these words reference, then I have totally missed the boat.

[A] I need to search for "God" in my time of devotion not just being satisfied with reading the words.

[P] Dear Father, please reveal in my heart who You are from the Scriptures I read.  I want to not just stop by reading the words alone but want to encounter You.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
