Ponder Over the Word of God
Hilkiah was the high priest of the Temple of Jerusalem.
He was the high priest of the Temple of
Jerusalem during the rule of King Josiah of Judah (639-609 BC). The Book of the
Law was discovered and read in the presence of the King. The King was moved by
the Word of God and wanted to find out more about its facts. Then the King makes
arrangements for reform and renewal of nations and people.
The Word of God is
powerful and alive. It can move the Kings and authorities to good action. The way to know the Word of God
is to read it. It is not enough to read the Word of God but, if possible, learn some passages by heart
and recall them time and again. The recalling of the Word of God and pondering
over it is one of the best forms of prayer. Such a pondering over the Word of God brings about
true transformation in one’s life.
What does the Word of God
have done in our life?
