Could We With Ink the Oceans Fill
David Jeremiah
You are an epistle of Christ… written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God.

This may be a far-fetched illustration, but let's give it a try. According to MSNBC, The British Medical Journal recently reported the case of a 76-year-old woman who visited her doctor complaining of stomach problems. When the scans came back, doctors were amazed to see a long object in her stomach. It was a pen! The woman remembered having put a pen in her mouth 25 years ago. She lost her balance, fell, and swallowed the pen. Her doctor at the time didn't believe it, and the x-ray equipment of that day didn't detect it, so nothing was ever done about it.
Now here's the remarkable thing. When surgeons removed the pen, it still worked.
Sometimes we feel like we're being swallowed up in troubles, trials, pressures, and problems. But our God watches over us as He watched over Jonah in the belly of the whale. Trials produce testings, but from testings come testimonies. We never lose our message. We never run out of ink. Because of Christ, we never lose our ability to write the words: "Great Is Thy Faithfulness!"
Most of the world around you doesn't read the Bible. So…God gives the world a living epistle -- you.
