There is really no subsitute for God’s word…No taking of anyone else really, over what is in the bible and for anyone and not just a select few, but anyone to read, to cherish, to hold close to heart and to seek.
From the Matthew Henry Commentary it is shared:”To meditate in God’s word, is to discourse with ourselves concerning the great things contained in it, with close application of mind and fixedness of thought. We must have constant regard to the word of God, as the rule of our actions, and the spring of our comforts; and have it in our thoughts night and day. For this purpose no time is amiss. (Ps 1:4-6)”
It’s not about what we think or feel, because feelings change and can often lie to us what is really there, but His word, is a strong foundation that never changes, has never changed and will never change.
In a reality, there really is just two ways of life…God’s way or our way, and from what happen with Adam and Eve, we already have seen what happen that choice led to.
From,”Psalm 1: Two Ways of Life“, it is shared,
“Passivity toward God and His Word leads to activity in sin and finally to overt activity against God. That is a law of life.
How do people scoff at the Word of God? (a) By blatant ridicule or rejection. But there are other ways. (b) By indifference. We think we have better things to do with our time. (c) By substituting one’s own ideas, experiences, emotions, feelings, or traditions for the Word and its principles. (d) By listening to the Word proclaimed, but then ignoring it. In essence we scoff at the Word when we fail to obey it and order our lives accordingly (cf. Prov. 1:22 with 29-33).
These verses pose a warning to us. They teach us how little by little we can step out of the place of blessedness and into the place of misery and cursing with horrible consequences.”
It is shared though later that,there is hope and it is in and through His word….as the article continued,
“The man who experiences great blessing is one who has a love affair with God’s Word. He/she is a person of the Scriptures. I would emphasize how remarkable this is. Note that that quality which characterizes the life of the blessed above everything else which could be mentioned is one’s relationship to the Word of God.”
“…..one’s relationship to the Word of God.”
He wants to have that relationship and for us to really know what Him and His word has to say and what He desires for us and the blessings that it offers….
Boils down to a simple choice.
One way.
Or the other.

I enjoyed this and appreciate you sharing. It’s easy to allow other things to take precedence over getting into His Word.

You know, I love God’s Word, but there are times in my life that I do show indifference. And then I struggle with reading out of duty and not love. I’ll be thinking on these things today. Thanks for sharing them!

I love “The man who experiences great blessing is one who has a love affair with God’s Word”. It’s amazing to me how we as believers think that we can have wisdom and strength in our day when we don’t seek God in His Word. This is a great word for today. Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings!!

Amen! Happy WFW…Please join me on Pursuit of Titus 2 for a blog party that you can not miss!!! I am hosting a True Woman Manifesto Blog Party courtesy of Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Leigh Demoss. Please, I encourage you to link up with this blessed event. Click the link below to find out more and I hope to see you ALL there! May God Bless you!!! It is time for us as women to embrace our Biblical role as women, wives and mothers according to Titus 2 and Proverbs 31…We need to take back what the feminist movement tried to start in destroying our Biblical roles and get back to what GOD said through HIS word! I Hope to see you there!

The only way is His way
Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
Let that beautiful verse sink in and surf on over to http://www.hybridhondas.com. Please click on a link or two when you’re there. It costs nothing and by doing so you’ll be helping a fellow brother out so he can continue helping others.
Please spread the word to other brothers and sisters. Be blessed and thank you
