Get in the Word

January 9, 2013

Despise God’s Word and find yourself in trouble. Obey it and succeed.
–Proverbs 13:13 (TLB)

As Christians, we have the Spirit of God in us. But ours is the responsibility to keep sin out of our lives so that the Spirit can produce His fruit in us. Become grounded in the Bible. As Christians, we have only one authority, one compass: the Word of God. Abraham Lincoln in a letter to a friend said, “I am profitably engaged in reading the Bible. Take all of this Book upon reason that you can, and the balance upon faith. You will live and die a better man.” Begin the day with the Book; and as the day comes to a close, let the Word speak its wisdom to your soul. Let it be the firm foundation upon which your hope is built. Let it be the Staff of Life upon which your spirit is nourished. Let it be the Sword of the Spirit which cuts away the evil of your life and fashions you in His image and likeness.

Prayer for the day

Almighty God, Your Word nourishes my whole being and I praise Your holy name!

Life can be fast paced and hectic at times however it is vital to schedule a "quiet time" to read God's word and pray. It may initially only be 10 minutes but God is pleased with your effort.

Without the Word of God, the Holy Bible, we have dangerous, evil moral relativism. The Bible is the moral absolute and spiritual truth which gives us life eternal in Him. Amen

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes (Psalms 19:7-8). AMEN!

We rarely ever fail to remember to eat our next meal because our body reminds us we are hungry. So it should be with feeding our mind and heart with God's Holy Word. Make the time to each day .......and satisfy your Spiritual hunger.

If Your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction. I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have preserved my life (Psalm 119:92-93). THANK YOU....., THANK YOU....., THANK YOU....., LORD YOUR HOLY LIVING WORD AMEN!

Oh, how I love Your law! I meditate it all day long. Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me. How sweet are Your Words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! (Psalms 119:97-98,103) THANK YOU FOR THE LIVING WORD!

When I started reading the Bible I didn't understand it. But one day I asked the lord to give me the wisdom. And he did. I cant stop reading. I am always in awe. I also put bible verses on my back windshield. To be a disciple for our Lord our God.

I came to Jesus Christ in 1972 and He has been my love, joy, peace, and my all in all ever since then. Read God's Word and learn to follow Him every day and you will never regret it for eternity.
