How much time will you spend in God’s word today? God’s word transforms us but we have to be exposed to it in order for it to do its work. You may be saying, “I went to church yesterday – that is my Bible fix for the week.” Or maybe you are working through a good Christian book that is challenging you to dig deep into your spiritual walk – and so you feel good about what you are doing to grow.
There is certainly nothing wrong with attending church – I think that is something we all should do. And a good challenging book can be used by God to change our lives. But just attending church or reading a book to learn about what someone else thinks about the Bible is not the same thing as spending time focused on God’s words to you.
Hebrews 4:12 says, “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.” God’s word is alive and active. It is relevant. It is personal. It is life changing. But it will never make a difference in your life if you don’t read it and apply it.
Spend some time in the word today – not just reading my thoughts about it.
Be blessed!
