Day 8: Intimacy through the Word

Day 8: Intimacy through the Word

Scripture:

8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful Joshua 1:8

Observation:

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away,” Jesus declared. The Gospels are most precious to us because they document the life and important sayings and teachings of the Lord Himself. By coming to the Word, we come to the Master Himself, and if we let His Word abide in us, the Lord Himself abides in us.John refers to Jesus Himself as the Word which was there from the beginning. To be grounded in the Word is to be grounded in Christ.

Application:

Let us ask God to give us a fresh love for His Word, and let us recommit to read the Scriptures on a more regular basis. Let us ask and pray that the Word may come alive to us,and even go forth and bring forth miracles able to change and bless the lives of many.

Prayer:

Lord, give us that fresh desire, and fresh purpose to know and love Your Word more and more. Let Your Word become so ingrained in us, that its power is able to come forth and touch the lives of many. In Jesus name, Amen.
