Study you Bible - Step 4 - Part C

Good morning all!  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!

   Memorize;  Look at Psalm 119:¹¹ I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

   Here is a good scripture to memorize.  You have God's word in your heart so that you MIGHT NOT sin.

Meditate: Don't just read God's word and then say you have completed you mission, you read the word of God today.  Did you "word call" or did you really "READ?"

   JOSHUA 1:⁸ Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

    Meditate on God's word;  then you will be prosperous and successful.  Oh, I will be rich and live in a big nice house and drive a nice car?  No, prosperous - you will grow in God's word and bring others to salvation.  The rewards you receive on earth are but for a short time; the rewards you build for the kingdom of God are eternal.

    What are the four purposes of God's word?  

        God's word is profitable for: 1) doctrine; 2) point out a fault; 3) conviction of sin; 4) correction of error; 5) instruction in righteousness.

     Five ways to learn God's word - they will fit on a hand: H - hear; R - read; S - study; M-memorize; M-meditate.

    Find a good time each day you can spend in studying God's word and then be there consistently as was Daniel. Let Psalm 119:18 "Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of they law."

   Love you all.

 In Christ's Love and Grace
