Day 7- God's Word

Hi Fellow Disciples,

"For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sward, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything in uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account." -Hebrews 4:12-13

For this day, I realized I don't spend nearly enough time in God's word... !

Funny, isn't it? How easy it is to say, 'Oh yes, the Bible is hugely important and reading it is great!' and quite another thing to take the time to actually read it... let alone memorize or spend time thinking about it.

Did you know when you hear something 10% of it stays with you? or when you read something 25% of it stays with you? or when you study something 50% of it stays with you? or when memorized 80% of something stays with you? but when you meditate on it 100% of it will stay with you? Interesting, yes? ;)

So allowing yourself to soak in God's word, spending time thinking about it and praying for God to open your mind that you may understand His word... will allow it to penetrate into your heart and change your life.

is that scary or what? change...

The question is, isn't this kind of change good?

Question: what does it mean to truly study and understand God's word?
