PRAY OVER THIS
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
(Hebrews 4:12
PONDER THIS
One reason some people don’t believe the Word of God is the mistaken idea that it’s not relevant; it’s not important; or it cannot apply to our current day and age. The problem with this logic is it is not theology, it is “me-ology.” They're simply thinking about themselves.
This is not only a matter for non-Christians, but it is also a problem in our churches today. There are those who say they believe the Bible. These people give lip service to the fact that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, authentic Word of God. But they don’t study it; they don’t know it; they don’t live by it; they don’t assimilate it; and they don’t stand on it. In the end their problem is the same: They are only thinking about themselves and what they want God to be. There is dust on their Bibles and drought in their hearts. It’s important for you to say, “I know that I know that the Bible is the Word of God.” But it means nothing if you don’t live like that is true.
May I encourage you today, dive deep into the Word of God. If you follow Jesus, know His Word! Somebody said, the truth of the Gospel is so deep scholars could swim and never touch the bottom, yet so wonderful that a little child could come and get a drink of water without fear of drowning. That is God’s precious, holy Word.
In what season have you spent the most time in God’s Word? How did this impact you?
Where in your life do you regularly apply God’s Word? What are some areas you don’t apply God’s Word often? What needs to change?
PRACTICE THIS
Spend some extra time in God’s Word today and consider how it applies to your life.
