Devotion: WE NEED TO KNOW GOD’S WORD TO BE ABLE TO LIVE RIGHT FOR THE LORD
- “Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against You”– Psalm 119:11
In order to continue our education, we may need to go to a college, university or technical school. We need to invest time, effort and be passionate in our learning. If we want to truly understand what we are studying and dig deeper into its meaning, we will spare no effort! For those that desire to learn the truths that God has for us, the Bible reveals God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to us. There are many treasures hidden inside God’s Word, waiting to be discovered. No other book contains the pure truth and all we need to know about living blessed lives and having full happiness forever in heaven.
The Word of God follows the logic of God and not of men. It is easy for us to remember whole paragraphs we read once in books written by people who think as we do, but sometimes it is challenging for us to memorize and remember the Word of God. If we ask the Holy Spirit to help us understand what we are studying in the Bible, we can change our old worldly ways of thinking. The more we change, the easier it will be to memorize Bible verses and understand their meaning in deeper ways.
We learn the will of God and His benefits for us from His Word. Memorizing Bible verses gets them in our hearts and they build us up. Learning the promises helps us to be able to stand on His Word. The Bible is full of wisdom and shows us not only things that are wrong, but how to make positive corrections. Knowing the will of God helps us have the abundant life He wants for us and gives us the power not to sin.
