Why is it so important to have his Word in our life?

Why is it so important to walk with God everyday, and read his word everyday?

It is hard to believe this is our last time meeting before summer vacation. I have enjoyed our time together so much! I have been so blessed by being around each of you. My prayer for this study was for it to truly bless us and our families. I believe that this study is like our own little study guide from God. If we don't just read his word, but instead use his word in our lives we will be full of his Joy. My prayer is that in the future we will all remember the basics. The simple child like basics that God wants us to know.

John 1:1~In the beginning before all time was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.

This verse alone tells us how important the Word of God is to us. The Word is God Himself. Have you ever thought of it that way. That God is the Word? That when we read the scriptures he has given us, it is like having more and more of him put inside of us. We love him, and long for that so much. It gives us more power, strength, and wisdom. You can never have too much of that. I just read something that stuck with me it said “wisdom is the ability to discern the truth”. Wisdom is supernatural, it is a gift of God, and cannot be taught by man. I loved that so much. That is the difference between someone who is full of the Holy Spirit and studies God's Word You will have the peace and knowledge, the spiritual training from your Heavenly Father to have wisdom in every situation. God is offering this Gift that cannot be taught by man to us, we need to graciously accept it.

Philippians 3:10~For my determined purpose is that I may know Him and I may progressively become more deeply intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His person more strongly and more clearly.

Psalm 91:1-2~He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty. Whose power no foe can withstand. I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I trust!

Psalm 119:105~Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Hebrews 4:12~For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power, it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line o the breath of life and spirit, and of joints and marrow, exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.

In this life we are constantly fighting a battle in our minds between what is Good (which is of God), and what is bad (the enemy). In order to win that battle in our mind, we must have the word of God. With all the bad things we hear and see everyday. We need God's word to overcome, rise up above the problems of this world, and to be able to go to His secret place. We should look at God's word as our weapon. I recently found some scripture that is perfect for today!!!

Ephesians 6: 10-17~ A final word, Be strong in the Lord and in the mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth, and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the good news so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the spirit, which is the Word of God.

In my very first post I mentioned Jeremiah 29:11~For I know the thoughts and plans I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you a hope in your final outcome.

See God wants us to walk with him, closely, so that he can fully protect us from all the evil in this world. I pray for us all to remember this everyday. That we will cling to his Word, and hold on to it tightly.

I pray for blessings and peace for all of our family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of this with me. I know that God has big plans for us. This is just the beginning of beautiful friendships between us Girls who are covered by his Grace!

I love you!
