"OUR GUIDING LIGHT"
Proverbs 4:20-22
New International Version
20 My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words.21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; 22 for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.
The Word of God reveals His very thoughts written down on paper for our study and consideration. His Word is how He thinks about every situation and subject. In order to be close to God, it is essential that you allow His Word to be a living message in your heart.
This is accomplished by meditating on the Word of God, allowing His thoughts to become your thoughts. When you do this, you begin to develop the mind of Christ. Love God’s Word and let it be the guiding light in your life.
Joshua 1:8 tells us that we can put the Word into practice mentally in order to experience good success physically. Meditating on or pondering the Word of God has the power to affect every part of our lives.
Proverbs 4:20–22 even tells us that the words of the Lord are a source of health and healing to our bodies.
Remember the principle of sowing and reaping.
The greater the amount of time you personally put into thinking about and studying the Word, the more we will get out of it. The Lord reveals His thoughts to those who are diligent about reading the Word.
