The Word of God is one of the most important tools God has given us to help us enjoy our everyday life.
The solution to the challenges we face in this life is found in the word of God.
It’s easy to rush into prayer when we have a need, but it’s best to know what the word says about a situation before we pray. We need to know what the word says first so we don’t go begging God for what he has already given us and so we can pray according to his will; the Word of God shows the perfect will of God (Romans 12:2).
Also, the word of God stirs faith up in our hearts that enable us to pray better (Romans 10:7 – “so faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of God”). The best prayer to pray is a scripture-based prayer.
Most times we want to study the word but get confused on what part of the scripture to study. Getting a study guide or a devotional really helps to point out exact places to study.
You can pick a book of the bible and just begin to study it, say the book of Romans. It’s best to start with the Pauline epistles (Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians…) because it throws more light on the new creation realities.
Sometimes when I need understanding about a subject, say “worrying”, and I want to know what God says about worrying, I go online and search for scriptures talking about worrying and I would just write them down and begin to study them one after the other.
We also have the Holy Spirit to help us. I believe if you ask him to show you how to study the word and where to study I believe he would show you.
The truth is what makes us stand strong as Christians and make us live excellent lives is the Word of God. When problems come, the word that has come alive in you would help you stand and you would be able to resist the devil swiftly.
Give the word a place in your heart today! Read the word, study the word, confess the word and act on the word.
Grace to your heart!
