I hope this week will be fruitful as you grow in your understanding of how important God's Word is, and how much work it is to build God's Word into your life. Paul says in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 that all Scripture is inspired and is profitable to teach you truth, show you where you are wrong, help you make corrections, and train you to be God's servant. The awesome truth is that God's Word is given to help you be competent and equipped for every good work!
If this is true, why aren't all Christians making progress? To be honest, it takes hard work to build God's Word into your life. Paul in Colossians 3:16, challenges us to let the word of Christ dwell richly within us. So, God's word isn't something I simply read, I must give it time to sink deeply into my heart.
Psalm 1 says that the blessed person is one who meditates on God's Word day and night! So God's Word needs to be on my mind at all times. In short, God's Word must become the dominant influence of your thinking and your life.
This week, we're going to use Proverbs 2:1-5 as a template to help you build God's wisdom into your life. I pray that you will get excited about putting the work into learning and internalizing God's Word. You will discover that the wisdom you gain is well worth the effort.
Evaluate your relationship with God's Word. Are you giving it the attention and focus that will allow it to change your life? If not, what needs to change?
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers and the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.
