Growing up, I had a little Bible that my mom got me and I love to read it. My favorite book was Revelation—I loved reading its stories over and over again about the thungs that are to be hereafter. As I continued to immerse myself in its pages, the words came alive, illuminating my life and shaping the foundation of my encounters with the Lord.
The Scriptures are not just words on a page; they are life to anyone who reads and studies them. “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). In the Bible, we find guidance, direction, and truth—it is God’s written word to us, a divine manual showing us what is, what isn’t, what should be, and how we are to live. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).
Have you discovered yourself in the Scriptures? Have you read about you in its pages? God was intentional about every word that was placed in the Bible. Within it, we can find our identity, purpose, and destiny. If you haven’t seen yourself in the Word, perhaps it’s because you haven’t truly searched it out.
The Bible should not be a book we open occasionally but a daily companion. “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success” (Joshua 1:8). Even a single verse, when meditated upon, can transform the heart.
The Word of God is spirit and life-giving. When we consistently and persistently engage with it, God’s very nature begins to rub off on us. “But be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:2).
So, dear friends, let this be a reminder today: study the Word of God. Take it in one dose at a time and watch as His Word transforms you from within.
Stay Revived!
