Every Word of God

 

Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. ~Proverbs 30:5

I've always been a word lover.  Those of you who have followed my blog for any length of time know that I'm hooked on Jumble puzzle books and, more recently, 5 Across, a free game on Fox News that is much like Wordle.  I engage in these activities not only because they're entertaining, but also because I need to exercise my mind, especially in light of my family's history with Alzheimer's.

So naturally, when My Word Club makes its unsolicited appearance in my inbox one day, my interest is peaked.  I have to give it a try!

Just as the screen above displays, each session provides the player with three words, in this case, providential, nonchalance and botheration.  It offers a definition, too, which I must admit, I have to check from time to time unless I'm absolutely sure what the word means.

The next step is to use the word in the correct context.

What would your choice be?

Now it's time for the similes.  I only choose two for the purpose of taking a photo; once the third simile is chosen, the screen immediately changes.  I'm sure you can tell what word should be third.

The next part of the game asks you once again to use the word correctly in a phrase.

Is it A or B?

The last challenge for each word is to use the first letter provided to spell out a simile that fits the word.  This is sometimes the point where I have to use the hint button if the correct word doesn't come quickly to mind.  I don't need a hint on this particular one.  Can you guess what the word is?

The game continues in the same manner using the two remaining words.  If you don't miss a single one or opt for the hint button, your total score is 24.  You lose points, of course, each time you make an incorrect choice or request help.

What's even more fun is that My Word Club will invite you to engage with another challenge should you so choose.  I often take them up on it if I don't have a lot on my to-do list that particular day.

Yes, words have always played an integral part in my life.  But there is nothing more important than immersing myself daily in God's Word.  The Bible is my spiritual nourishment, the daily bread for my soul.  I've made reading it a priority, and no matter how many times I do, even the verses and stories I think I know by heart take on fresh meaning and insights I never thought of before.

Is the same true for you?

Amen!
