Thou hast magnified thy Word above all thy name

One of the foremost reasons why we should constantly read the Word is given in Ps. 138:2, where the psalmist declares—

       "Thou hast magnified Thy Word above all Thy Name."
The magnification of God's Word could not be better illustrated than it has been in John 1:14—
       "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth."

This helps to better understand Paul's statement to Timothy that— "God was manifested in the flesh" (1 Tim. 3:16).
And further, it helps us greatly to understand the relationship between the Father and the Son, and the SUPREME IMPORTANCE OF THE WORD.

Now, if Jesus were to come into your home, how would you feel?   Just stop and think of that question.. remembering that Jesus is the Word made flesh, and a direct manifestation of the Father.   Therefore, to have God's Word in our home is to have God there, and His beloved Son Jesus.

Now that we have them there, where are we going to place them? Are we going to leave them on the book-shelf, or are we going to place them in our hearts? Do not forget that where you place your Bible, you place Jesus and the Father. Therefore, if we neglect the Bible, we neglect them. That is an impressive thought, is it not? The place God demands of us is to be foremost and always in our hearts and minds. Jesus brings that forcibly to us when he quotes
from the Law, saying— "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with ALL thy heart, and ALL thy strength, and ALL thy mind" (Mk. 12:30).
