TO THE BIBLE:
2 Timothy 2:15
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
LET’S TALK
The same way a pupil or student of an institution of learning is expected to attend classes to make good grades, that’s how you’re expected to show up for school, complete assignments, study for tests, and stay focused if you want to pass your exams or make the team. God expects you to be a student of His Word so you can be successful in life. Success in life isn’t dependent on the number of degrees you bagged in college; it’s in the amount of God’s Word you know and put to work. No demon will listen to you because of your education, nor will sickness, disease, or poverty bow to anything else except the Word of God.
Just as every father desires to see his child progress academically, it’s your heavenly Father’s desire that you grow up spiritually. Sadly, some Christians are still in the realm of childishness meaning there’s still so much in the Word of God to learn. They’ve been in church for years, but still don’t know where to find their favourite scripture without scrolling through their Bible app. Yes, I know you have to start from somewhere, but you can’t stay there!
Life is spiritual, and the Word of God is also spiritual (John 6:63). I know some people love reading, so someone can read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and still not gain anything at all. That’s because such a fellow is reading the Bible as he would a newspaper or history book. The Holy Spirit must be involved in your study if it’s to have any meaningful impact on your life. The Bible is more than just a catalogue of stories; it’s a revelation.
I love studying my Bible! I’m a student of the Word. The more I study, the more I discover that what I know is very little, and I want to know more. Jesus said, “You search the Scriptures…” (John 5:39), and Paul also said that we should study the Word. That’s another way of saying, “Be a student of the Word.” Make time for it daily before school, during a break, or before bed. Get to know God today through His Word!
GO DEEPER
Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Psalm 119:105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
PRAY
Dear heavenly Father, I open my heart to the ministry of your Word today. I’m filled with the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you, as I keep my gaze on your Word. By your Spirit, I continually behold those marvellous works of your love, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
