The Bible has storehouses no one will ever exhaust. Thus it deserves concomitant respect. Each word, individually and collectively, has the Divine touch of GOD’s hand. Hear this, from various passages in the Psalms:
Psalm 119
v. 89 Your word, LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.
Psalm 19
v.1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
v.2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
v.3 They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.
v.4 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
Or in other words, GOD’s Word (this is a very multi-faceted term–see how John uses it in his Gospel, Chapter 1 vv 1, 3, and 14)–GOD’s Word includes speech from the heavens which does not use words as we know them. And, in particular, it awaits us in the heavens, which are vast (pitching a tent for the sun connects them with a wilderness of sorts. This suggests to us that, if earth is vast, and the sun goes all the way around and back (perhaps hiding in that tent when it’s nighttime here) the sky is vaster. All this will come back in later parts of this blog.
v. 105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
