Reading the Word

Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. Revelation 1:3

Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. 1 Peter 2:11

Looking at these two verses, one may say they have nothing in common, but reread them. What does God promise in Revelation 1:3? What does God say through 1 Peter 2:11.

I have recently relearned the importance of God's Word and the application to my life. God wants us to use His Word to ward off the evil. Only through reading and understanding God's Word can we truly be blessed!

I am sad to say most church-going folks only look at God's Word once a week (at church). This saddens me because God wants to BLESS US so much. Yet, we refuse His blessings by refusing His own Word.

Pray over this today. What can God say to you today in His Word that can relieve the stress, sin, or obstacle in your life?
