Don't Say God Is Silent if Your Bible Is ClosedSample

The Power of Your Bible

D.L. Moody once said, “A quickening that will last must come through the word of God. A man stood up in one of our meetings and said he hoped for enough out of the series of meetings to last him all his life. I told him he might as well try to eat enough breakfast at one time to last him a lifetime. That is a mistake that people are making; they are running to religious meetings, and they think the meetings are going to do the work. But if these don’t bring you into closer contact with the word of God, the whole impression will be gone in three months.”

There are countless blessings, wisdom and power God wants to give us that will only come to us through reading and meditating on his Word.

We need to make Psalm 1 a daily reminder in our lives: “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.” (Psalm 1:1–3)

There are two things that this passage calls us to do: walk away from sin and sinful advice, and walk toward the Word of God. We are called to make the Scriptures our delight and our continual meditation day and night.
