THIS WORD WORKS

Read Psalm 1:1-3

Do you love the Word of God? Do you read it? Ingest it? Meditate on it?

Truth is, I have never met a person who had a deep and abiding walk with Jesus that did not have a deep and abiding love for the Word of God.  It is an absolute MUST, if a person wants to deepen their relationship with Jesus.

I pray these 3 verses in Psalms over my immediate family, almost daily.  Why? Because I want my family to love Jesus and have a deep relationship with the God of the Universe.  This psalm says to me that our depth in God’s Word has a direct connection to the depth we have in this life we live.

When we root our life in shallow things like materialism, entertainment, etc…then our life might be unsustainable, but when rooted in God’s Word, our lives will be strong. How will that happen?

John 15 Jesus tells us to abide in Him and He will abide  in us.  Abide is simply an invitation to stay close.  How do we do that? One main way, Jesus says, is to take His Words, the Bible, and have those words abide in us.

See, the Bible is not just an old historical document. It is the supernatural, inspired Word of the Sovereign King of the Universe.

One reason we should read our Bible each day, isn’t just to learn more, but to be transformed by it.

We spend way too much time in our lives listening to ourselves and the lies of the enemy and should be claiming the truth of scriptures to ourselves, and watch the Holy Spirit through the power of the Word of God begin to align our lives to His truth.

Even Jesus, when tempted by Satan in the desert, responded 3 times…”it is written”

Isaiah 55:10,11 says, “The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. It is the same with my word. I send it out and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.”

This means the Word ALWAYS WORKS!  ALWAYS! It works for us and on us. Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.”

So if you want God to mold you, shape you and also draw you into a deep relationship….then prioritize some Word time!  We want to Crave the Word of God like we crave air when submerged in water. Dive deep into the Word and God will draw upon a deep relationship with you. ABIDE.

Love God – Love People – Change Your World
