Shalom,
In Proverbs 24:3-4 from our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today we see one of the simplest and most profound Truths!
3 Through skillful and godly Wisdom is a house (a life, a home, a family) built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation], 4 And by knowledge shall its chambers [of every area] be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.It is ALWAYS by and through the Word of GOD that we growin Wisdom, knowledge and understanding of Who God is and who we are - IN HIM! Do not neglect the study of God's Word! Besides the verses above, 2 Timothy also tells us of the importance off getting the Word of God inside of us! Verse 15:
15 Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth.And then Romans 12:1-2:
12 I appeal to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].AMEN! The Word of the Living God is the MOST important part of our life with JESUS! Remember alwasy that God's Word is TRUTH (John 17:17) and that JESUS said of Mary, who had chose to sit at His feet learning rather than scurrying around as her sister did, that SHE had 'chosen the better part' (Luke 10:42) AND that this choice would NOT be taker away fromher! CHOOSE JESUS! CHOOSE HIS WORD! CHOOSE LIFE! ALWAYS! Here are Hillsong Kids with "Voices of Freedom":
Shalom in Him!
