Matthew 4:4
We are instructed to study the Bible and meditate upon its meaning for our lives, yet far too many Bibles are laid aside by well-intentioned believers who would like to study the Bible if they could "just find the time."
Warren Wiersbe observed, "When the child of God looks into the Word of God, he sees the Son of God. And, he is transformed by the Spirit of God to share in the glory of God." God's Holy Word is, indeed, a transforming, life-changing, one-of-a-kind treasure. And it's up to you...and only you...to use it that way.
The vigor of our spiritual lives will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our lives and in our thoughts.

--A Prayer--
Heavenly Father, You have given me the gift of Your Holy Word. Let me study it, and let me live according to its principles. Let me read Your Word, meditate upon it, and share its joyous message with the world, today and every day. Amen

Going along with reading scripture, within the past 9 months I have discovered the importance of memorizing scripture too. It gives God's instructions more "portability" I guess you could say. One of my favorite verses I have memorized is Joshua 1:18:
ReplyDelete"Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth. Meditate on it day and night so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."
Scripture memory not only benefits you personally, but it also helps in witnessing; giving you more credibility in the eyes of non-believers. If you know God's instructions by heart and are confident in them, a non-believer will be more likely to listen.
