Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly
Custodio
THE BIBLE IS A GOD’S SPEAKING PLACE (PART-2)
‘…I have treasured the words of His mouth more than
my daily bread.’ Job 23:12NIV
Today’s Insight
Psychologists are agreed on this point: people only
keep doing what rewards them! So when Bible reading becomes unrewarding, we
quit. As a result we feel guilty, and become spiritually weak and discouraged.
Your soul can no more thrive without God’s Word than your body can thrive
without a daily intake of food. The Bible says, ‘He humbled you, causing you to
hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors
had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word
that comes from the mouth of the Lord’ (Deuteronomy 8:3 NIV).
One of the dangers of the
iPhone is that you begin to live on ‘hits’ of information and short messages
limited to 160 characters or less. This creates spiritual ADD (attention
deficit disorder). God cannot be reduced to a limited word count or a few
hurried moments in your day. To prosper, you must meditate day and night on the
Scriptures (Psalm 1:1-3). You say, ‘But I don’t have time to read
the Bible.’ How much time do you spend each day watching television? Hours? If
you find television to be rewarding, but not God’s Word, your soul is in need
of intensive care!
If you want to change
your life, change your habits and start reading the Bible. Job, who had more
trouble than any of us will ever see, said, ‘I have not departed from the
commands of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my
daily bread.’ The place where we want to talk to God is always available that’s
the Bible you can read anytime and anywhere. There’s a saying that God is
always available ready to embrace us but we are running away from God and we
make excuses of our busyness in our work for we have no time for God. I
encourage you today to come to the speaking place of God regularly the Bible.
When you make the habit to come to the speaking place you feed your spiritual
life and I believe nothing can stop you to receive overflowing blessing from
Him.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word today.
Lord thank you for giving me a privilege to read your Word the bible. Lord
because of your Word everyday it enlightens me and brightens my life every day.
Lord empowers me to consistently read the Bible because that’s only the way
that I can meet you to speak to me. Lord thank you that the Bible has many
promises to hold or trust on and I believe that your promises will come to pass
in my life because I trust them. Lord thank you that you are always available
24/7 and that your Word has power to change me and direct my footsteps to train
me in righteousness so that I will be equipped ready to be used to share your
good news and to win souls for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord
I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart
as my personal Lord and Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the
bottom of your heart you are now saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16
that if you trust His Son Jesus you will not die but you will have Eternal
Life. Welcome to the family of God. In order to grow in your faith with God
please do these consistently starting today; 1. Pray always 2. Read your Bible
Daily 3. Attend Church Services Regularly 4. Attend Prayer Meeting, Bible
Study, Church Seminars and make God first place in your life with your talents
and finances 5. Lastly, witness Jesus to others that they may receive Eternal
Life also.
