Davar

 

    Davar (D-B-R) is also called Dvar Torah.  Davar is דָּבָר in Hebrew.  It means "word", "speech", "thing", or "matter".  It signifies God's Word or the way God communicates through word and action with His people.  Devar Yehovah means the Word of the Lord.  Basically the Word has the power and life of God and was given to people as a road map on how to live their lives.  God's Word represents God's creativeness, power, and who He is.

    Davar is more than utterance.  It is an order of words to connect people with God.  It tells stories, gives commands, provides promises.  There are clear boundaries and standards set, but in love.  Everything God communicates is to tell people you have the free will to live how you choose.  I want you with me, but if you choose otherwise then you will not reap the benefits of being a part of My family.  

    Davar is in the old testament more than 1,340 times.  The Bible is not just for reading.  It is to encourage and affect how you live.  It is meant to comfort you in hard times.  It is meant to be used when you pray to give direction and clarity over what you are actually praying for.  It helps you fight spiritual battles.  

    Words shape your life, how you think, how you act, and perspective.  God's Word enables you to reflect God in this world.  Words are used for good or evil.  They can hurt or heal.  It is your choice on the words you use.  It is also your choice on the words that you allow yourself to digest or accept.
