John 8:12 (NKJV) 12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
He is the light.
In order to not walk in darkness, we must follow Him.
Following Him means we must know what He says. And in order to know what He says we have to study His word.
We can’t just study a little here and a little there. We can’t just study when we have the time. We have to make the time.
We have to be diligent in our studies, willing to put aside other things that we enjoy doing, and pick up the word of God to study or meditate on it.
Joshua 1:8 (NKJV) 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
It’s not going to just happen.
We have to make it happen.
How do we do that? By being in it night and day.
We will only follow Him to the fullest if we know what it is we have to do to follow Him. We must have His word hidden in our heart.
Not only does it keep us accountable for our actions, it also gives us strength to say no to certain things when we need to.
It helps us to stay disciplined and balanced in every area of our lives.
Psalm 119:11 (NKJV) 11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.
