The Lord created you and
has a purpose for you, and has given you five senses – hear, smell, see, taste,
and touch. Everything we know and
experience in life comes through one of those five senses. We encounter life
that way, and God wants us to learn to encounter the Bible with all of your
senses.
We find these
experiences in James 1:19-25, My dear brothers and sisters, take note
of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and
slow to become angry, because human
anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. 21 Therefore, get
rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly
accept the word planted in you, which can save you. 22 Do not merely listen
to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who
listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks
at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and
immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently
into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting
what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
Use everything that God
has given you to experience His Word in a very real way. Amen?
