The Importance of Reading God's Word

I made excuses after excuses, and yet there was one thing that kept coming up... Read My WORD.  I thought for the longest that I was being tormented by the fact that I had been trying to excuse simply reading the Word of God. I could make time to eat, watch tv/youtube, work... wasn't reading His Word more important than all of these things?


Stay in the Word...

Psalm 119:11, 105King James Version (KJV)

11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.


Take the time to read the entire chapter, it is chocked full of structure that will keep you guided into His righteousness. It will keep you from being foolish and making decisions that won't impact your life for Christ, keeping you from being stuck in the rut of bad decisions. 

Think about all the times that your parents have instructed you to do something... perhaps they said something didn't even make since at the time, but somehow, when you needed it the most, you were able to reflect back on that word/phrasing/situation, and it literally helped you through that situation.

That is how we are to use THE WORD of GOD!... It is a specific and strategic guide tool. When sick, weary, lost, we can remember what God has shown us through accounts of the Word, and literally see a way of how to best handle whatever life will bring.
