Open

This article also appears under the title Dependence Upon God.

I have come to love the Word of God, the Bible. It contains many wonderful words. This morning I learned to love just one of them a little more. The word is open. Just a glance at a few places the word appears in Scripture has shown me a little more more about how dependent I am upon God. What a wonderful thing to know. I believe you too will be blessed by focusing on that wonderful word.
