Thanks for praying and hanging in there
Come to Me!
Come to me, all of you who are tired and are carrying heavy loads. I will give you rest.
MATTHEW 11:28
What do you do on your birthday? Eat cake. Play games. Open presents.
Yes, open presents. Thats the most fun.
Think of Gods Word as Gods present to us. When we read and understand a verse, its like opening a gift. Each verse is a special message of Gods love to us. A little present!
The above text is one to memorize. What does it mean? If youre tired of trying to be good and obey the rules, stop. Come to Jesus, and hell show you how!
Thats a great gift, dont you think?
Father, thank you for your rest. Help me to learn to rest in you and to live by your peace. Amen.
How to Overcome Sin
I have hidden your word in my heart so that I wont sin against you.
PSALM 119:11
Gods Word tells you how to avoid sin.
What is sin? Its anything that God says is evil and wrong. Hatred. Impatience. Stealing. Lying. You know what most sins are. But some of them are hard to overcome.
The verse above is a good way to beat sin. Look it up. Memorize it.
How does it work? When you hide Gods Word in your heart, you put it deep and safe there. Its like something precious a friend said to you that you want to remember. When you treasure Gods Word like that, youll find you can fight sin better. Why? Because thats the way God made life! His Word is powerful!
Lord, let me treasure your Word. Lead me to dig deep and to find the great truths that will help me live well for you. In Jesus, amen.
What Gods Word Does
God has breathed life into all of Scripture. It is useful for teaching us what is true. It is useful for correcting our mistakes. It is useful for making our lives whole again. It is useful for training us to do what is right.
2 TIMOTHY 3:16
Have you ever followed a trail in the woods? That can be scary if you dont know where its going. But if youve traveled it many times, you know its good. And you follow it with confidence.
The Bible says that Gods Word is like a trail through the woods. Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:16 that it
teachesshows us how to stay on Gods trail warnspoints out when we get off his trail correctshelps us find the way back to the trail and trains in right livingkeeps us on the trail.
Gods Word has that kind of power. Every time you read it, every time you hear it preached and read, listen for Gods voice. Listen to what hes saying to you. And then go and obey it. Stick to Gods trail and youll get where he wants you to go.
Jesus, I want to hear your voice in your Word. Speak to me as I read and let me walk with you happily. Amen.
Gods Word Is Like a Knife
The word of God is living and active. It is sharper than any sword that has two edges. It cuts deep enough to separate soul from spirit. It can separate joints from bones. It judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart.
HEBREWS 4:12
Gods Word cuts deep.
Did you know that? Its like a knife.
Have you ever cut an apple in half? What happens when you do? The innermost seeds are exposed. You see whats inside.
Thats what Gods Word does in our hearts. It goes deep inside and shows us whats there. The verse in Hebrews that is written out above shows us the power of Scripture.
Have you ever sat in church and suddenly heard the preacher say something that made you feel like everyone knew what youd done wrong? Thats the Holy Spirit speaking to you through Gods Word. The Spirit shows us whats inside our hearts.
Holy Spirit, speak to me in church and in your Word. I want to be like Jesus in every way. Through Jesus, amen.
Gods Word Is Like a Seed
A farmer went out to plant his seed. He scattered the seed on the ground. Some fell on a path. Birds came and ate it up. Some seed fell on rocky places, where there wasnt much soil.
MATTHEW 13:3-4
Do you have a garden? Maybe not, but Im sure you know how to make things grow.
First you plant the seeds. Then you water them. Then you wait.
Gods Word is like a seed. In fact, Jesus told a story about a farmer who planted seeds. Some didnt grow at all. Some died young. Some were choked by weeds. And a few grew to bear fruit.
Thats how Gods Word works. A verse is a seed. You plant it deep in your heart. There you listen to it and talk to yourself about it. And soon it bears fruit in your life. What the Word says to do, you do!
Thats the whole point of reading Gods Wordto change your life.
Lord, I want you to change my life. Work in me and make me like Jesus. Amen.
A Lamp in the Darkness
Your word is like a lamp that shows me the way. It is like a light that guides me.
PSALM 119:105
Have you ever gone into a bathroom at night, turned on the light, and watched as some ugly bug disappeared down a drain? Yuck! Bugs dont like light. They scurry away. They want to stay in the dark. They dont want to be seen.
Did you know Gods Word is like that light? In the passage above we can see how it works. When God switches his Word on in our lives, we sometimes see things we dont want to see. Lying. Stealing. Not studying in school. Making jokes about Gods truth. Theyre the bugs of sin God wants to show to us. After we see them in the light, we can get rid of them once and for all.
Father, let me walk in the light of life. Show me any sins that Ive done and help me stop doing them. In Jesus, amen.
Gods Word Is Alive
I take delight in your orders. I wont fail to obey your word.
PSALM 119:16
Take a breath.
Ah! Did that feel good?
Now breathe on somethinga candle flame, a leaf. What happens? Does it move around? Does it become alive?
Did you know that the Bible says Gods Word has Gods breath in it? In 2 Timothy 3:16, Paul says, God has breathed life into all of Scripture. In other words, the Bible has the very breath of God inside it.
What does that mean? Just this: when you read the Bible, youre reading something that has life. Other words and sayings are just that: words and sayings. But Gods Word is alive.
Next time you read some of it, see if it moves inside of you!
Lord Jesus, you say your Word is alive. Let it live in me. Amen.
God Is My Shepherd
The LORD is my shepherd. He gives me everything I need.
PSALM 23:1
Why do we go to church?
Is it to hear a sermon? Is it to sing some songs? Is it to worship God?
All these things. But theres something else you may have missed. Remember the 23rd Psalm. The first verse is quoted above.
God is a shepherd. Jesus was called the Good Shepherd. And the leaders, pastors, elders, and deacons in a church are undershepherds. Theyre under Jesus. Jesus is the boss. Theyre his servants.
And who do they serve? Not just him, but us. They help us not be in want. They show us the green pastures of truth and friendship. They lead us to the quiet waters of fellowship and good character. And they guide us in the right paths.
Church is Gods way of helping you make it as a Christian.
Holy God, let me learn in church and Sunday school. Open my eyes so I may see your good truths. Amen.
