Live by the word!!!
Joshua 1:8
This book of law shall not depart out of your mouth but you shall meditate therein day and night. That you may be careful to do all that it says for then you shall make your way prosperous and you shall have good success.
The verse above says we should study and think carefully about ( meditate on) the word day and night and apply it in our lives.
To live by the word means to base all your actions, decisions and lifestyle on biblical principles. For instance, if need to decide on how to use your time.
What does the bible say about time?
– There is a time and a season for everything under the sun ( Ecclesiastes 3:1)
– He makes all things beautiful in His time ( Ecclesiastes 3:11)
– Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you ( Matthew 6:33)
The bible also says in Daniel 2:21that
The times and seasons are in God’s hands.
It is therefore important to take direction and instruction from the word at all times.
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to show yourself approved unto God. A workman that need not…… rightly dividing the word of truth.
This verse from the new testament introduces another scenario of living by the word.
In order to be able to live by the word, you must study the word of God thoroughly.
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Read your bible and pray everyday.
Prayer
Meditate on the words of this song
The word is a seed
When planted and watered
Grows to be great
You can be anything you want
You can achieve all your dreams
If you only believe
The word of God is here today
Coming right at you
Would you believe it
Dare to receive it
In a world where there are seasons and times
This is your season
It’s time to shine again
It’s time to shine again.
Amen
