Is God's Word Prevailing Today?

 

Today's verse is Acts 19:20

So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

    This verse is not speaking of the intrinsic power of God’s Word, for by it will all be be judged, or destroyed. For, after all, by it we were created, and by it we are presently sustained. But, what this verse is speaking of is, how the word of God was accepted by those that heard it. We know that God’s Word is never spoken in vain, for it will always accomplish the purpose for which God has established. However, this verse is speaking of whether those that heard, received, and submitted themselves to it. So, today, can we say that God’s Word has prevailed? Not in the same sense! For today, have we not hardened our hearts against it? Have we not cast it out of our schools and courtrooms? Making light of God and his Word in our neighborhoods. And what is the result? Do we find Peace or Strife? Return now, yourself, unto God, and seek to know and obey his Word, and see what wonders he will perform in you. Amen.

To God be the Glory
