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?
