Our Scripture reading today is Luke 16:16-17.
Verse 17, "And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail."
The Word of God is and always will be what brings about change to our lives. It is to be read, studied, memorized, meditated on, shared, and obeyed. God's Word is alive and it provides everything that the follower of Jesus Christ needs for daily victory. It will also be the guide to a lost, hell-bound sinner to eternal life through Jesus Christ. The best way we can point someone to Jesus is to point them to the Scriptures. While our words are prone to failure, the Word of God will never fail!
How much time daily do we give to the Word of God? Maybe I should ask how much quality time do we give daily to the Word of God? Our spiritual growth is dependent on faithfully investing our time into the Scriptures. If you desire to grow more than you are, spend more time in God's Word. While the sanctification process is all of Jesus Christ, we must make the choice to surround ourselves with those things that He will use in this life long process.
Spiritual growth will be seen when we...
1. Seek the Spirit's filling every day.
2. Read God's Word every day.
3. Pray believing every day.
4. Attend church faithfully.
5. Die to self.
This is a start up (There are others you can add.) list that must be given priority in our lives. Spiritual growth and victory are possible if we follow God's Word!
