There shouldn\u2019t be a day that we don\u2019t read His word and there is no excuse for not doing so.  There hasn\u2019t been a time that I read the word that I don\u2019t get something new from it or confirm what I have in my heart.  These are the directions on how we are called to live our life while we are here and we need to have them planted in our hearts and minds.<\/p>\n<p>Application: Not only read the word but to apply it each day.  To memorize scripture so that when I need it the Holy Spirit can bring it to memory to help others and strengthen my faith.  Before Christ I was lost barely making it day by day, but now God has given me direction and a goal to reach for and I need to continue reading the map.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer My Lord thank you for your word and love that You have given us.  May I be a doer of the word and follow your directions in my life.  Please guide me today as I walk and use me to help others in your name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture 1 John 2:5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him.
