What does the Bible say about the Word of God?
“Do you want to experience God? On paper, for all of us, I know the answer is yes, but deep down do you truly desire to connect and encounter Him? If that is tugging at you, it starts with becoming a man or woman of the Word. God speaks to us through Scripture, but we can only hear Him if we’re immersed in it. To be honest, I’ve wrestled with this myself. I’ve had to confess, ‘Lord, forgive me, I ran to my phone before I ran to You.’
Starting your morning with the Lord transforms everything. But don’t just begin your day with God in the Word, I urge you to study Scripture and apply what you read. Reading without living it out builds head knowledge without heart transformation. It’s been a joy to include these Scriptures. Praise the Lord for His Word that keeps on giving. Let’s dive in!
