Blessed is the Word, א Psalm 119 is such a beautiful chapter all about the Word of God. Each 8 verse section starts with a different letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Read Psalm 119:1-8. Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord . Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart— they do no wrong but follow his ways. You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed. Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees! Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands. I will…

Read 2 Timothy chapter 3 VERSE: 2 Timothy 3:16–All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. TRUTH: Scripture is the Word of God. The Holy Bible has been breathed out by God and all the words that are in the Holy Bible are straight from the mouth of God. The scripture is great and useful for so many things in our daily life. It applies to every area and every circumstance. It’s never outdated and never “old-fashioned.” We can learn and grow and improve through the study and application of the Word of God. Will we study and apply the God-breathed Word of…

Read Romans chapter 10 VERSE: Romans 10:17–Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. TRUTH: Our faith is not blind faith. We must know what we are to have faith in. We know that through hearing the message in the Word of Christ. Our faith is to have roots and to be well grounded in the Word of God. If we are not consistently feeding ourselves more and more of the Word of God, then our Faith with wither and will ultimately fail us when we need it, or our faith will be in the wrong thing and we will be…

Read 2 Kings chapter 23 VERSE: 2 Kings 23:2–He went up to the temple of the Lord with the people of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the prophets–all the people from the least tot he greatest. He read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant, which had been found in the temple of the Lord. TRUTH: God’s Word changes people. The people had begun a restoration project and they found a copy of scriptures that had been lost/buried. Many scholars believe it to have been the book of Deuteronomy. Regardless of which book it was, when they read it, they were changed.…

Read Amos chapter 8 VERSE: Amos 8:11–“The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine through the land–not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.” TRUTH: The people of Israel were no longer seeking after God’s Word and as a result, a time was coming when they wouldn’t be able to find it or hear it because God would stop sending prophets to them. Sure enough, this did happen to them, right before they were driven into exile and dispersed by the conquest of the Assyrians. Interestingly, this feels like where things are…

Read Joshua chapter 8 VERSE: Joshua 8:34–Afterward, Joshua read all the words of the law–the blessings and he curses–just as it is written in the Book of the Law. TRUTH: Joshua read all the words of the Law. Sometimes today we find people who pick and choose certain words from the Bible. I really like this section, but I don’t like that one so I won’t read it. Taking that attitude can really be a detriment to our daily walk for we will not be following all the Law. God gave us each and every word that we have in scripture for a purpose and we are to study and live…

Read James chapter 1 VERSE: James 1:25–But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it–not forgetting what they have heard, but doing in–they will be blessed in what they do. TRUTH: As we saw yesterday, it’s not just about hearing and learning God’s Word; it’s about doing it. So what are we supposed to do? We are to look intently into the perfect law. We must study it and learn it and know it. Second, we must continue in it. We must be consistent in our study of God’s Word. Third, we must not forget it. Our study must be something that we can…

Read James chapter 1 VERSE: James 1:23-24–Anyone who listens to the word, but does not do what is says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, does away and immediately forgets what he looks like. TRUTH: We must apply God’s Word to our lives every day. If we don’t we will be like this person here. We will see what we should look like, see what we really look like in comparison, and choose to do nothing to change. God’s Word is give to us for us to learn and grow and become more like God. If we are not seeking to…

Read James chapter 1 VERSE: James 1:22–Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. TRUTH: We can spend our entire lives learning God’s Word and reading. We can hear great sermons and wonderful preaching. But, if we don’t ever take the truths we hear or read and actually apply them to our lives, we’ve deceived ourselves and the truth is not in us. We have to apply the information to our lives. We have to take the truths and allow God to use them in our lives daily to shape us and change us and make us more like Christ. Don’t deceive yourself…

Read James chapter 1 VERSE: James 1:21–Therefore, get rid of all the moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. TRUTH: We have to make a conscious choice what we are going to accept and what we are going to get rid of in our lives. Each day we are presented with options and we have to make a choice. As the verse says, evil is prevalent all around us and if we are not consciously choosing to get rid of it, it will influence us and cause us to fall. Only the Word of God is…
