When was the last time you spent time
reading your Bible or Bible App? When was the last time you took a shower? Are
you cleansing your mind with the Word as often as you’re cleansing your body of
the filth of the world?
October’s Awakening, Day 27:
Isn’t
it amazing that almost everyone has an opinion to offer about the Bible, and
yet so few have studied it?
-R. C. Sproul
We
must allow the Word of God to confront us, to disturb our security, to
undermine our complacency and to overthrow our patterns of thought and
behavior.
-John Stott
Yes,
it is amazing! The Bible will always be a subject of discussion and
controversy, and sadly, most of us are not students of it. Yet the most
important point is to give the Bible an unbiased try. Let God’s Words jump off
the page and confront your current thinking, shake up your thoughts and
understanding of things, enlighten your ideals, build your character, and
transform your patterns of behavior. Replace the deceptions of the world with
God’s eternal truth.
That’s
what the Word was intended to do. It is powerful and alive, and it will speak
to you if you will just listen. Hebrews 4:12 (NIV) tells us: “For the word of
God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates
even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and
attitudes of the heart.” Read His Word. If you meditate on it, it will come to
life and revelations will abound.
