God’s word lives in your hearts, and you have won your battle with the evil one.” 1 JOHN 2:14

Sometimes it is best to just sit back and look at a scripture, read it over and over again, and then pray to our Lord in heaven to give us the understanding for how his scripture applies to our lives. We each have our own individual problems and persecutions. Our Lord is in tune with each of us. When we pray to him, we sometimes think that he will give us answers to our prayers by sending us a miracle or some kind of sign that everything is going to be alright. Well, he may do just that, but he also may use a scripture to speak to us. His word is holy, truthful, and full of his wisdom. However, if we just read his scriptures and let them pass us by without fully understanding their meaning, then we are going to miss many answers to prayer. In order to fully take advantage of our Lord’s gifts, we must be able to meditate and study the meaning of his scriptures. His word is our road map to life. Every answer to any problem we have can be found in his road map. How often do we take advantage of it and study it. He heals us through it, provides us peace and joy through it, he gives us instruction for holy living through it, and he speaks to us through it. His mighty word is a gift that needs to be appreciated and used. He loves us and we see the extent of his love through his holy word! We should meditate on it so that it is a part of us as we live in this complicated worldly environment. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
