2 Timothy 3: 16-17 (NRSVA)

16 All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work.

The Bible is just a book, with pages full of black and white printed words. It is no different from any other printed book, until the Holy Spirit breathes upon the words and they become God’s living words. Divine oracles of truth and justice, hope and mercy, love and redemption, speaking to a weary soul the words of life. Moving with power from the printed page into human hearts, transforming the most unexpected people into God’s inspired change-makers in the world.

 

PRAYER:

 

Come breath of God

Breathe upon these words of Scripture

Let them be read aloud among your people

 

Make them to become alive in us

May we become the embodied words of protest

Bringing faith through teaching

Bringing hope through training

Bringing love through living

May we be the embodied words of comfort

Bringing unity through our growing in grace

Bringing peace through our sharing in understanding

And bringing healing through our knowledge of goodness

Come breath of God

Breathe upon these words of Scripture

Let them be read aloud among your people
