How to Treasure
God’s Word (Part-2)
‘If you abide in My word,
you are My disciples indeed.’ John 8:31 NKJV
Today’s
Insight:
John writes, ‘I pray that
you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers’ (3
John v.2 NKJV). In order to ‘prosper’, reading God’s Word must be one of your
first priorities each day. Jesus said, ‘If you abide in My word, you are My
disciples indeed.’ To ‘abide’ means to reside in a certain place. It makes us
think of home, the place where you find joy, acceptance, encouragement,
support, protection, purpose, identity, and rest.
To ‘treasure’ God’s Word
means to accept it as your highest authority, your compass for direction, your
counsellor in making decisions, your benchmark for evaluating every
relationship and action. In other words, the first and last word in your life.
Many of our troubles
occur because we base our choices on unreliable authorities, like: Culture –
‘Everybody’s doing it.’ Tradition – ‘We’ve always done it this way.’ Reason –
‘It seems logical.’ Emotion – ‘It just feels right.’ All these are flawed
because they come from within us, not from God.
What we need is a perfect
standard that will never lead us in the wrong direction, and only God’s Word
meets that criteria. Solomon wrote, ‘Every word of God is flawless’ (Proverbs
30:5 NIV 2011 Edition). That means when His Word tells you to do something, you
need to do it by faith whether or not it makes sense to you, and whether or not
you feel like doing it. You must say like Paul, ‘I believe everything that…is
written’ (Acts 24:14 NIV ).
Today’s
Prayer:
Lord, Thank you for not hidden your Word from us as King David’s
says I treasure your Word above all. Lord your Word is powerful and can change
our life when we obey by faith. As we read today’s insight we are recharged and
received full of hope and that we are assured by your Word. Thank you that you
are always open and available for us. Lord as we pray we are talking to you and
as we read your Word you are talking to us to give us assurance and peace in
our life even we live in this troubled world. Lord thank you for your protection
and your Word today In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
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, In
Jesus Name! Amen. If you mean that prayer from the bottom of your heart you are
now saved. It is God’s Word testified 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 for you to grow in your faith
with God please do these consistently starting today; 1. Pray always 2. Read
your Bible Daily 3. Attend Prayer Meeting, Bible Study, Church Training
Seminars 4. Attend Church Services Regularly 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.
