Imagine the power of even 5 words of the Bible; 'and God spoke to Jeremiah.'

I think we all have days that we wonder what could possibly go wrong next. Where do we look for the peace that we so desperately seek? A friend sent me the following story that reminds me that I have Jesus in my life and that he is always with me. The author is unknown.

“I am reminded of a story told by a pastor from Romania. When the Russians took over his country, he and his congregations secretly gave Bibles to the Russian soldiers. They ran out of Bibles and this pastor began to give out just one page per soldier. The pastor thought, "What am I doing? What good is one page of the Bible?"

One day he decided to ask one of the Russian soldiers he had given one page to, "Ivan, I gave you a page of the Bible. Have you learned anything?" The soldier replied, "Well, pastor, the page you gave me had on the top of the pages the word 'Jeremiah.' I never heard of this Jeremiah. The page talked about places I have never been to and people I have never heard of. I did not understand any of this. But one sentence I did understand. In one place was written, 'and God spoke to Jeremiah.' I thought about all the places and people I did not know anything about. I thought that these people could not have been very important. If they were, I would have read about them in our history books in school back in Russia. This Jeremiah I have never read about in our history books. He must have been an unimportant person like myself. I thought, if God would speak to such an unimportant person such as this Jeremiah, would he speak to an unimportant person like me? And from that day on, He has been speaking to me and He fills my heart with unspeakable joy!"

This is what five words in any translation of the original languages of the Bible can do when the Holy Spirit draws a person. From then on, although this soldier did not have a Bible, he had a relationship with the Living Word.”
