Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net. Second Kings chapter fourteen, verse twenty-seven. But the Lord had not said that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, so he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam, the son of Joash. What a picture. Saved by the word of the Lord. The only way Israel was saved, according to 2 Kings 14, 27, is because God had said so, and God is faithful to his word. Do you see the biblical truth here? Were it not for the Word of God and God's faithfulness to his word, then salvation would not be possible. That's for sure true in my life. The only reason I have experienced salvation is because God's word is true and he is faithful to it. This is true in your life. The only way you can experience salvation from sin, eternal life, is if God's word is true and if he is faithful to it. How God loved us enough to send his son Jesus to die on a cross for our sins, that through faith in him we might be forgiven of all our sins and filled with his spirit and reconciled to relationship with him. That reconciliation, that salvation from sin is only possible based on the word of God and God's faithfulness to his word. So we pray, all glory be to your name, oh God, for your word, for your word that saves us. Oh God, we cannot save ourselves. We praise you for your word. We praise you for people who proclaimed it to us. We praise you for those who have shared the gospel with us, for those who've led us to salvation in your word. And even as we praise you for them, we pray that you would make us those kind of people in others' lives, that you would use our lives to proclaim your word to them. Right around us, God, we pray that you would help us today to proclaim your word, to share your word about salvation, to share the gospel with other people around us. God, we pray for people around the world who've never heard the word about how you saved. God, we pray for the Adegay people of Syria. Please cause the word of your salvation to be made known among the Adegay of Syria and every people group in the world. God, that they might know salvation. And God, we praise you for your faithfulness to your word. We know here in 2 Kings 14 that the only way that Israel was not destroyed is because of the word you had decreed and because of your faithfulness to your word. And God, we know the same is true in each of our lives. In any of our lives, that any of us, that the only reason any of us can experience salvation, will experience full and ultimate and final salvation and glorification in you is because of your word and your faithfulness to it. God, we love your word. God, we thank you for your word. God, we praise you for the salvation we find in your word and your faithfulness to it. We put all of our trust in you and your word today. In Jesus' name we pray, according to 2 Kings 14 27. Amen.
