Why Bible Study?
Proverbs 4:20- 22
20 My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words.
21 Don’t lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart,
22 for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body.
The Bible is no ordinary book. The words on its pages are like medicine for your soul. It has the power to change your life, because God's Word is Alive! If you discover the power and truth of God's Word, you will discern change in your life, which can only result from this truth. You will also recognize the lies that the enemy wants to whisper to you.

If you have just started to read the Bible or feel insecure reading the words, then do not think you have to read through the entire Bible or understand everything immediately. Be patient with yourself. What’s important is only that you start somewhere and stay tuned. Because every time you deal with the Bible and read it carefully, you will learn something.
Proverbs 4:20 is important to understand, because to “pay attention” means more than just read it - it means to think about it and let it go through your head again and again. When we read the Word of God think and learn -agree with Him on more than anything else – our life will be fulfilled with the healing power of God.
Pray: God, I thank you for the vitality of your word! When I read and devote myself to the living Word, you teach me all I need to know to let your healing power flow into my life.
Wonderful Jonathan.. :)
ReplyDeletei know most of us these days like me, gets busy in day to day activities and dsnt get much time for things that are more important, and we all know talking to God directly is not possible caz of all sins filled in this world. thats why we got these words to read and hear the Lord talk to us through this :)
yes thats true, we dont have to rush and read all and understand immediately. like a child we need to start eating the daily bread, what we can digest in one day, thats it, or else we may vomit or have loose motions ;)
thanks for sharing this wonderful post Jonathan.. God bless :)
wow... I can't believe I didn't comment on this earlier. This is a great post Jonathan :) and you are so right that we need to meditate and think upon the good and true words in the bible instead of any wrong thoughts coming in our minds. Thank you for the great reminder here. :) bless you both you are great blessings to me :)
