Let the Word Change you

The entrance of God’s living word in to our hearts becomes a map that brings clarity and direction. It lights up our minds and our hearts so we see more clearly how we ought to handle our everyday life. As we spend time to study the word, we gain knowledge and understanding that helps us understand the workings of God.

Once you make a decision to study the word of God, it is the most challenging. The enemy will cause distractions and everything possible to keep you from opening your bible. There will be other stuff you will want to do, that seems a lot more interesting than reading your bible. When you open your Bible it would seem you cannot even understand what you are reading. You may get drowsy while you are reading and then you will put the Bible down. Do not be afraid. This is all tactics of the devil. He knows for sure that if you get into loving your bible and learning, the word will lighten up your way and you will be changed from the inside out. The word will bring healing and restoration. The word will renew your mind and way of thinking. There are just so many advantages to giving time to the word of God.

Say to the Holy Spirit please help me to read and study my bible. It will be a little hard at first but you have to persist and slowly your love for your Bible will intensify and you will grow in wisdom and understanding. You will start to speak differently as well. It is so worth it, to be a student of the word, change from the word in inevitable. Jesus becomes more real to you.
