Where the word of a king Is, there is power. Ecclesiastes 8:4
CC 8:4{Then the question is "Where is it?" "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly," and there, even in you, will be power. The Crowned One, who is now "upholding all things by the word of His power," hath said, "I have given them Thy word." And those who have received this great gift, "not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God," know that there is power with it, because it effectually worketh also in them. They know its life-giving power, for they can say, "Thy word hath quickened me"; and its life-sustaining power, for they live "by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." They can say, "Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee"; for in proportion as the word of the King is present in the heart, "there is power" against sin. Then let us use this means of absolute power more, and more life and more holiness will be ours. "His word was with power" in Capernaum of old, and it will be with the same power in any place nowadays. His word cannot fail; it "shall not return void"; it "shall prosper." Therefore, when our "words fall to the ground," it only proves that they were not His words. So what we want is not merely that His power may accompany our word, but that we may not speak our own at all, but simply and only the very word of the King. Then there will be power in and with it. Bows drawn at a venture hit in a way that astonishes ourselves, when God puts His own arrows on the string.
Upon the Word I rest, so strong. so sure.
So full of comfort blest, so sweet, so pure!
The charter of salvation, faith's broad foundation.
