Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him(Proverbs 22:15).
Thereâre people who often donât behave wisely, even though theyâre born again. The reason for this isnât farfetched; the Bible says the one who isnât disciplined by a wise and understanding person will grow up to be foolish. Godâs Word is the cure for foolishness, because the Word of God is the wisdom of God.
No wonder Paul admonished Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:15 to give uninhibited attention to the Scriptures, Godâs Word because of the Wordâs power and capacity to make one wise: âAnd that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.â Thatâs why the preaching and the teaching of the Word are so important.
Donât ever let the Word become too common to you. Never be casual with your study times and meditation on Godâs Word. The Word is what God uses to mould your personality, form your character, create your habits, and chart your course in life in order for you to arrive at your divine destiny.
Godâs Wordâimbibing itâ is more important than the air you breathe. If you stop taking in the Word, youâll find yourself walking at cross-purposes with God. If you ever want your life to be balanced, full of excellence, grace and glory, the Word of God is the key.
Job said, âI have cherished your Word more than my necessary foodâ (Job 23:12). Just as food is necessary for your bodyâs physical growth and development, your human spirit must feed on the Word. Colossians 3:16 says, âLet the word of Christ dwell in you richlyâŚ.â Inundate your entire being with the Word. Think through the Word; train yourself to reason only by the Word, and not only will you please God, your life will be full of His glory.
PRAYER
Iâm Spirit-ruled and Word-governed. I see through the Word, understand by the Word, and renew my mind with the Word. Iâm cultured by the Word for the life of the Kingdom. The Word of God controls my values, ideas, opinions, choices and decisions. Praise God!
