The Sufficiency of God’s Word

 

Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it.” Jeremiah 1:12

There’s something we tend to overlook or take too lightly when considering God’s Word: it’s sufficiency. We tend to underestimate the great power of God’s promises.

In this initial chapter of Jeremiah, God wanted to make sure the prophet knew this promise. He wanted Jeremiah to learn early in his ministry the reality of his Word: that God is always watching over it to perform it.

God did not set up his Word and his Truth as some static guide for us. God’s Word isn’t lifeless and void of any efficacy. Rather, the Word of God is backed by the God of his Word. What he says he will do, he does.

What has God promised you? What scriptures in past seasons have leapt off the page at you? What hopes and dreams did you build around the promise of God’s Word?

Don’t abandon those promises. God has neither forgotten you nor his promise to you. His Word is sufficient, his promises sure.

God backs up his Word. He hovers over every jot and tittle to make sure that each lives up to what it promised.

So don’t panic, don’t quit and don’t grow weary in the waiting. God will come through for you. You have his Word on it.

Father, thank you for the faithfulness of your Word. Thank you that it doesn’t fail. In Jesus’ name . . . .
