Bible Verse of The Day – 1-8-24

2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV) 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

The importance of staying in God’s word can’t be stressed nearly enough.

His word is the lifeblood that keeps us nourished and growing.

It is living, breathing and powerful.

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

And here’s a little something to meditate on; if a situation comes along that causes us to spend less time in His word than normal, we may begin to “lose our edge”. And it will likely happen more quickly than we might think.

If our time in His word decreases, we will begin to hunger after His word.

We will begin to long for our time in it. And we may even become frustrated with whatever it is that is robbing us of that time.

You see, His word helps us discern more quickly, more powerfully and more accurately.

His word fills our reservoir, so to speak. Without it we are empty and dry.

And His word is a weapon to be used against the onslaught of the enemy when he attacks us and tries to take us down.

1 Peter 5:8 (NKJV) 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

So, let us do whatever is necessary to take back our time in His word, being sure to fight against anything that tries to steal that time from us.

The fight may not be easy, but we will never regret doing it.
