Immediate Reaction

Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. (Proverbs 4:13)

From the looks of it, instruction must be very important and we must hold on to it very tightly.  God has called us to guard instruction well because it’s our life line.  The Hebrew word for instruction is discipline.  We are to be disciplined in the things of Christ and to walk in His ways.  Let’s look at four people who were called to follow the Lord’s instruction.  The most important thing I want you to see is their response.  Let’s see if we can follow in their footsteps with a response of readiness!

Pearls of Wisdom

Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.  Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.  I am a stranger in the earth:  hide not thy commandments from me.  My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times. (Psalm 119:17-20, KJV)

What are the wonderful things we can receive by following God’s law?

First, of all remember there is freedom when we live within God’s law.  He created it as a loving father creates rules for a son or daughter.  They do so to keep their children from danger.  The Word of God has been given to us to help us see how best to live our lives for God.

All I really needed to know I learned in KINDERGARTEN “Genesis”

I’ve been studying Genesis a lot lately and I continue to be amazed at what I find there.  I have studied it many times before, but God always finds a way to help me experience it in a new way.  I’m starting to get the feeling like this could be a book that sets you up for life.  Kind of like that old saying, “All I really need to know I learned in Kindergarten.”  Yes, I feel it is very important to know the whole Bible and allow all of it to impact your daily life with the Lord.  Please don’t misunderstand me.

I simply want to draw some truths from Genesis to show you how exciting God’s Word can be.  It is vibrant, living, and active in our daily lives, if we allow it to be.  Sometimes we tend to make God’s Word complicated and forget to draw the meaning from it for our lives.  God wants us to seek His Truth, so we can be renewed daily in Him.  I pray you will take the time to read Genesis with me, at your own pace, as we embark on a journey to walk out God’s Word.

Solid Living

All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

This passage of Scripture reminds me that the Word of God is the greatest tool we have to live out our lives here on earth.  God wants to impact every aspect of our lives and influence the way we live through His Word.  The only way we can accomplish the purpose He has for us is by following His plans.  We are guided through His Word.  Let’s find out more through this passage of Scripture.
