Daily Meditation: To Let the Word Become Flesh

DAILY MEDITATION To Let the Word Become Flesh April 16 Photo courtesy of SDGimagery.com Spiritual reading is food for our souls. As we slowly let the words of the Bible or any spiritual book enter into our minds and descend into our hearts, we become different people. The Word gradually becomes flesh in us and thus transforms our whole beings. Thus spiritual reading is a continuing incarnation of the divine Word within us. In and through Jesus, the Christ, God became flesh long ago. In and through our reading of God's Word and our reflection on it, God becomes flesh in us now and thus makes us into living Christs for today. Let's keep reading God's Word with love and great reverence. For further reflection... "... humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.  Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.  Do what it says." - James 1: 21-22 (NIV) Your response...
