Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
We have studied that God's word has specific purposes, has doctrine, and points out fault (convicts us) and today we will see that when we are convicted we are also corrected Psalm 119 gives directions, but looking at verse 9 "How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word." What is this verse telling us?
How can you be cleansed? Take heed to the Word, the Bible. God's word helps us behave accordingly, to His word, and the Bible is our food spiritually. We will not grow in Christ if we don't feed daily from the word. Jeremiah 15:16 says, "Thy words were found, and I did eat them." Did he eat them physically, no, but he did spiritually.
We have to take hold of the Bible, hear it, study it, talk about it, meditate on it, and memorize or paraphrase (accurately) the Bible.
LISTEN: Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Listen to sermons, listen to Bible studies, and take notes on what you hear.
READ: 1 Timothy 4:13 Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Read your Bible daily, even if it is just a verse or a daily devotional, but read the word.
STUDY: 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. Study the word and apply it to your life. Let the moral teachings of the Bible guide you in your steps. You have to study, find stories that are interesting and as you read them, imagine them in your mind.
Next study will be Memorize and Meditate, then review. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
