2 Samuel 7-8, John 14:15-31, Psalms 119:33-48, Proverbs 15:33
What God said to me – My word was written, not for My benefit, but for My children’s benefit. I know My plans. I know My purposes. I know My law. I didn’t write it for Me. I wrote it specifically for My children – for you – for direction, for instruction, to record accounts of My past faithfulness and working and to lay out My plans for the world. As you see prophesies fulfilled, your faith will grow, and you can have peace in the midst of all that is going on in the world. My word contains all you need for life and godliness, and if that weren’t enough, I gave you My Spirit as a Helper and Teacher – He will teach you all things and bring to mind all that I said. You cannot know Me apart from spending time in My word because it is where I reveal Myself to you. My Spirit cannot bring to mind all that I said when you need it if you don’t know what things I said. You learn those things through reading and studying My word. Do you want to please Me and have My approval? Then study My word so you can accurately handle it and walk in obedience.
