Intimacy With GodParaugs

DAY TWO: The Word

Knowing what God has said is the first step in becoming indestructible. It is important that we protect our hearts when responding to Scripture’s necessity. It can easily cause some of us to study the Word out of obligation rather than passion. If you find yourself in this state, do not let the trap of shame overcomplicate your plight. All relationships have ebbs and flows, mountains and valleys, even your relationship with God. The measure of your relationship with God is not in whether you have more mountains or valleys; it is in what you decide to do when you find yourself in the valley.

If reading the Bible is boring and stale for you, then make rekindling your passion for God’s Word more important than how many verses you read in a day. Find people who are passionate about the Bible and have them pray for you. Listen to sermons by those who have a rich relationship with the Word. Read until you find a verse that strikes you, then stop and carry it with you in your mind for the rest of the day. The Word of God is a living thing. You will not have to go far to find the life in it.
