Hello Dear Ones,
I hope you are doing well this week and that you are falling more and more in love with the Lord, every day as you learn more about Him. When we read the Holy Bible, pray, and meditate on His Word daily we will fall in love with God’s truth, because we belong to the Truth.
The person who belongs to the Truth is someone who has been saved by Jesus. They are drawn to read His Word, so they can keep the truth of God in their hearts. “I have hidden Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You.” Psalm 119:11. It was a wonderful moment when I realized that the Word of God is truly God’s Word and that it is the authority of God in all truth and righteousness. I then understood that whatever I felt was right or wrong, or what I believed, had to be tested by the authority of God’s Word. I didn’t know I was sinning against God until I heard someone teach from the Bible about sin. One of the things he mentioned was my sin. In God’s perfect timing the Holy Spirit convicted me of my sin, and that is when I repented and asked Jesus to save me. We can’t know we are sinning against God unless we learn about what God says is right or wrong. God is greatly pleased when we desire to read His Word and learn about His truth. So get into God’s Word daily and learn God’s truth for your life.
It is so important for the believer to read God’s Word daily; to pray and seek God’s will for their lives. We do that by walking in the Spirit of God every day, in all we do. As we walk in the Holy Spirit daily we are strengthened to resist the temptations of the world, so we can daily follow God in His righteousness. We can only receive this strength when we love and worship God in His truth.
As we walk daily with God, by faith we believe that as we talk to Him, He will talk to us. This is how a relationship with God becomes one that brings Him great glory and honor. Either we do or don't have the faith to believe that God talks to us; that’s our choice. But if we choose to not believe that God speaks, His voice will be diminished in our lives, and our ability to be used by Him becomes limited.
I desire the greater gifts and I desire to bring God as much glory and honor as He will allow me to in my life time. I hope you have that desire too. Living with a heart for God in all you do, say and think is possible when you know the truth about God because you know God’s Word.
“Jesus answered, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6
“This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” 1Timothy 2:4
“…whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.” John 3:21
“If you love Me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever – the Spirit of Truth.” John 14:15
Open your hearts to God’s Word and all that is in it. The Bible is relevant to our lives today, and God desires to use us as He used His servants, whose stories are written in God’s Word. God put those stories in the Bible to teach us, and give us examples of how He wants to use us and bless us. God is the same true God when Adam met Him in the Garden as He is today, the question is do we have the faith to let God use us as He sees fit to use us?
Join me as we read 2Chronicles 25-36 for two weeks.
Blessings,
Tricia
