Let’s look today at Scripture pertaining to the
study and application of God’s Word. May we reflect, study, share, mediate on, and
memorize it.
James 1:22-25 “Do not
merely listen to the Word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone
who listens to the Word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at
his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately
forgets what he looks like! But the man who
looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues
to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he
will be blessed in what he does.”
John
5:39(NLT)“You
search the Scriptures because you believe they give you eternal life. And the
Scriptures point to me!”
Acts
17:11
(NLT) “The people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica,
and they listened eagerly to Paul's message. They searched the Scriptures day
after day to check up on Paul and Silas, to see if they were really teaching
the truth.”
Joshua 1:8(NIV) “Do not let this Book of the Law depart
from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do
everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”
MT. 7:24-27“Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into
practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came
down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it
did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. BUT everyone who hears these words of mine
and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house
on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat
against that house, and it fell with a great crash."
By looking intently, we can build on the rock solid
foundation of God’s Word. Amen?
