H.W.L.W. (The Poke-in-the-Eye Devotional, 1/5/24)

“THERE IS DUST ENOUGH ON SOME OF YOUR BIBLES  TO WRITE ‘DAMNATION’ WITH YOUR FINGERS!” —Charles Spurgeon

If you find it hard having one daily Quiet Time with the Lord, reading your Bible and spending time with him, imagine having two.

Dawson Trotman, founder of The Navigators, a ministry that teaches people how to get closer with God, had a Quiet Time in the morning AND in the evening. Whenever he had a crowd of people over to his home and sensed the conversation was ending, he would use this code to signal his wife: “H.W.L.W.”

He’d then announce, “All right, H. W. L. W.” 

Then a passage of Scripture would be quoted without comment, and it would be time for bed. 

H.W.L.W. stood for “His Word the Last Word.”

It’s hard for me to understand why anyone who calls themselves a Christian would neglect God’s Word. 

It truly is the Creator of the universe’s manual of life for us. 

Besides, do you know what “Bible” even stands for?
