“The law of his God is in his heart;
None of his steps shall slide.” Psalm 37:31
The Bible is not an easy book to read or understand so how can it become alive and powerful in your heart?
The answer lies in praying these simple words to God; “Let the Word of Christ dwell richly in you with all wisdom and understanding”. I pray this every day of my life.
You are asking Jesus to explain the purpose of His words and how they can be appropriated in your life.
The Holy Spirit will take what belongs to Jesus and share His life with you. You do not have to strive or use commentaries. The Spirit will teach you the spiritual significance of the Word and how to utilize the truths in your life.
The miracle of salvation is Christ lives in you and His Word is alive and powerful. The Word will never fail you.
The spiritual reality for a believer is understanding you have a volume of biblical truths stored in your heart through the Holy Spirit.
Your responsibility is to walk by the Spirit and inquire of the Lord for wisdom in dealing with the challenges of life. This will allow you to walk in a smooth path. You won’t be perfect and you will stumble now and then but you will be guided by the Spirit.
If you lack biblical knowledge, no problem! Just pray the words of Colossians 3:16 and spend 10 minutes a day reading the Bible. You’ll build up an inventory of spiritual knowledge in no time at all.
The Lord is your Keeper and He wants to preserve your going out and your coming in. However, this can only happen if you walk by the Spirit.
Remember, the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
He lives so you can live!
