You Need The Word of God Every Day

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the
scriptures, nor the power of God (Matthew 22:29).

Every Christian needs to know and understand the Word of God. Jesus
said, “Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures.” If you don’t know the
scriptures, you’re going to err; you’ll go astray, which is why you
need to study the Word and meditate on it every day. It’s not enough
for you to rely only on the Word you hear and study when you go to
church on Sundays; you need the Word every day.

In the Old Testament, God gave them manna from heaven, and told them
they couldn’t depend on “yesterday’s manna” for today. He told them to
get “today’s manna” for today. This is very significant, because Jesus
said, “I am that bread of life” (John 6:48). So, Jesus was the manna
they ate in the Old Testament, as it were, but they didn’t know it. He
is the Word of God made flesh.

The Word of God is God’s food for the human spirit, and you need it
every day. He also told us to meditate on the Word. Now, when He spoke
to Joshua, and gave him the instructions, He said, “...thou shalt
meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do
according to all that is written therein...” (Joshua 1:8). So, you
can’t just use your human experience of the Word of God to live a
sound Christian life. You need to know the scriptures.

In Hebrews 10:22, the Bible says, “Let us draw near with a true heart
in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil
conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.” This means the
Word of God affects your spirit; it affects your soul, and affects
your body. The Word works in the three departments of your life! It’s
the mirror of God; His transforming agent by which you’re transfigured
from glory to glory.

The more you look into the mirror of God, the greater the intensity of
His glory in your life. The Word of God upgrades your thinking (Romans
12:2), and maintains your physical body in health, keeping you
immunized against sickness and infirmity (Proverbs 4:20-22). So, make
the conscious effort to upgrade your life every day with the Word of
God.

PRAYER

Thank you dear Father, for the impact of your Word on my spirit, soul,
and body! As I give myself to your Word, I’m transformed; your glory
in my spirit increases and reflects outwardly. With your Word in my
heart, and on my lips, my life is divinely regulated for success
accomplishments, Name. Amen.

Further Study: John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think
ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. ;

James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and
continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the
work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
