Quiet time, personal time, Bible study, no matter the name it is so important as believers to spend time with God each day. Our hope and faith come from God through His Word. God’s Word gives us comfort and strength. Life gets busy, granted there are a million tasks that need completion. Let’s not forget to spend time with the One who gives us the strength to do those tasks. Our faith grows as we build a relationship with Jesus.
One of the main ways to grow our relationship with Jesus is studying His Word. God’s Word prepares us to deal with life situations. His Word guides us through difficult times. His Word teaches us how to obey and follow His commands. His Word guides us in finding His will for our lives.
I am sure there are times when you have studied the Bible but did not get “anything out of it.” I have had those instances too. Please do not feel discouraged or “unspiritual.” In our time with the Lord, we should ask Him to speak to us through His Word. Pray for insight and understanding.
We should be intentional in our study of the scriptures. It should be a daily practice. Daily study of the scriptures helps us to keep our focus on Christ. We need to purpose to learn all that God has for us to live like Him.
How can we live a life of faith if we do not study how to have a life of faith? We are greatly blessed that God has given us a guide to live in faith and hope. Let’s purpose to study God’s Word daily and apply it to our lives. Let’s make it a priority.
What has God taught you through His Word in your time with Him today?
