Leviticus 7:28-9:6, Mark 3:31-4:25, Psalms 37:12-29, Proverbs 10:5
What God said to me – Have you ever stumbled around in the dark looking for a flashlight because the power went out? It’s great when you can go right to it and flip it on and see. But what if it’s been so long since you used it that you can’t remember where it is, or the batteries are bad, or it wasn’t put back where it was supposed to be – then you struggle in the dark. My word is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path, but for it to be that for you, you need to be in it and know it. I gave you My word for your help and benefit – to instruct you and guide you – to teach you how to walk in a manner worthy of your calling. It’s of very little use to you if you put it away and rarely use it. When something happens in your life – when you need help and guidance – when the “power goes out”, are you able to go right to it without stumbling around? I use this time to teach you and train you for just such times. I want you to hide My word in your heart, not put it away in a drawer. It is living and active and meant to be used every day.
