Day 36 - Love is God's Word

(Back to the Love Dare)

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. ~Psalm 119:105

For some people, the Bible seems just too big to understand. It's like an impossible challenge. But as a Christian, we have the Holy Spirit, which is an illuminator of the truth.

For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. ~1 Corinthians 2:10

Because of this, the scriptures are now yours to read, absorb, comprehend and live by. But first you have to commit to do it.

Be in it. Everyday.

With all my heart I have sought you...Your Word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against You. ~Psalm 119:10-11

Stay under it. Be a part of a church where the Word is faithfully taught so you can get a broader, more balanced view of what God is saying through His Word.

Live it.

Prove yourselves doers of the Word, and not merely hearers. ~James 1:22

Everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. ~Matthew 7:24-25

Wise couples build their houses on the rock of God's Word.

TODAY'S DARE

COMMIT TO READING THE BIBLE EVERYDAY. FIND A DEVOTIONAL BOOK OR OTHER RESOURCE THAT WILL GIVE YOU SOME GUIDANCE. IF YOUR SPOUSE IS OPEN TO IT, SEE IF THEY WILL COMMIT TO DAILY BIBLE READING WITH YOU. BEGIN SUBMITTING EACH AREA OF YOUR LIFE TO ITS GUIDANCE AND START BUILDING ON THE ROCK.

Whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction. ~Romans 15:4
