Topic: Find the Answers and Power You Need in the Word [Joyce Meyer’s Daily Wednesday February 28th, 2018]
For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. — Hebrews 4:12
When people ask me where to start reading the Bible, I tell them there’s really no wrong place to start. You can study anything that’s going to help you.
When I first started studying the Word, I didn’t have very good relationships because I didn’t really understand what love was. So I studied the subject of love, and I learned that it’s more than just a gooey feeling. It’s a decision you make about how you’re going to treat people.
By studying what the Bible says about love, I learned how to love. Then my life began to change.
Whatever you’re dealing with, you can find scriptures about it by using a concordance. For example, if you’re dealing with anger or fear, flip to the concordance in the back of your Bible and locate those words to see which scriptures talk about those issues. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you and reveal truth to you.
No matter where you start, remember that the Word is alive and God wants to speak to your heart today!
Prayer Starter: Lord, I know You want to speak to me. Help me to find the wisdom and power I need in Your Word today.
