God’s WORD, Our Life!
By Rusty Wilson
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
- Proverbs 4:20-22
We have clear instructions, a NOW word from God in Proverbs 4:20, to attend to His words, to incline (yield to) His sayings, not letting them depart from our eyes, but to keep thinking on and meditating on His WORD. To keep God’s WORD in the midst of our heart, verse 21.
Notice verse 22 says, For they are life unto those that find them..., as we study the WORD of God, we receive the WORD of life. This WORD of God is quick (it is ALIVE), powerful (active, operative: effectual) and sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12), and as we get God’s WORD in us, there begins to be a change in our life as we receive it. Our faith starts to increase, because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the WORD of God (Romans 10:17).
God has given us His WORD to live by. It’s our life and as we attend to His WORD, it becomes active in our life and as we speak His WORD, it changes things around us. If we don’t see things going like they should, we are to change them by speaking the WORD and as we speak His WORD, God will perform His WORD (Jeremiah 1:12).
Be encouraged today, to attend to God’s life-giving WORD, for it is our life He has planned for us.
