Reading the Word of God

Growing up I loved reading! Each book I picked up was another opportunity to get lost in a story, caught up in an adventure, and to learn something new. What I loved most about reading was the fact that it opened up to me another world. I would daydream about living in the places I read about and what I would do if I were in those situations.

What I love about reading the Word, is that it opens up another attainable world for me. I can read about others who tapped into the keys of the Kingdom and see how their lives were changed and blessed as a result. I can find out how to live a life of victory and joy in Christ. I can discover new ways to tap into my purpose and find meaning for my life.

After reading the word, I come away with vision of how to be an overcomer.

Don't look at your Bible study time as a ritual or just a necessity to be a good Christian. Look at it as an opportunity to find out about the greatness within you and the greatness of the God you serve!

You're not just reading stories. You're not just learning rules. The Bible is not just about the history of our faith. It's not just records for us to memorize.

The Word of God brings life! It answers questions. If applied in faith, the Word of God can bring change, deliverance, restoration, and miracles!

Today, approach your devotional time with a whole new perspective. Open up your Bible with expectancy. Read each verse expecting to find out another key for you to reign victorious in life. Don't just read to be reading, take what you learn and apply it in order to see change.

Allow the Word of God to open up a whole new world for you!

Verse of the Day: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

  1. It's sad how some of us (myself) approach reading the bible as it relates to our availability. I often say to myself "I'll do it if I have time." But I know that's not the way to the truth and the light. Thank you for reminding me of this in this timely message.
