EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Taking the plunge into the Word of God is life-changing.
May I encourage you to dive deep into the Word today and ask God to reveal all the amazing things He has for you, just in this day alone! Then, move beyond today with a fresh start to read the Bible daily.
There was a time when I avoided “diving” deeper into Scripture because I was told and afraid that I wouldn’t understand it. So, I began to pray for wisdom and understanding and prayed over it each time.
“Lord, the only thing holding me back from discovering the depths in Your Word is me.” Empower me to be disciplined and help me to hear Your voice as I study Your Word.” Amen
When we study God’s Word, He reveals who He is and His plans and heart for us. As we explore different verses, their original Greek and Hebrew meanings, the culture the text was written in, and how verses tie in together, it’s like coming upon a gold mine.
See how the psalmist put it: “I rejoice in your word like one who discovers a great treasure” (Psalm 119:162).
The Word of God IS a great treasure!!! Some daily homework I challenged myself to do each day became like a treasure hunt when I started into looing for specific things on my heart. The Holy Spirit navigated me as I learned to go below the surface for my jewels. Any of us can find nuggets on the surface, but finding hidden treasures that take time to search out bring extra gratification when you get the “ah-ha” moment. I found I truly loved it, and looked for more each time I took the deep plunge!
What I enjoy most is going through my Bible on my own each day with God as He unveils His truth to me every single time!
Please take the daily PLUNGE in God’s Word and find some awesome glistening treasures.
