Abiding In The Word of God By Nanyamka Boyer
Good day to you my beloved brother or sister in our Faithful Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, our Strong Refuge and Tower. It is my prayer that this devotion finds you well and in good spirits, and if not please know and remember that there's ALWAYS hope in Jesus! Let us also remember on this day to continue to seek the Lord's face in His Word and in prayer daily, for truly His Word and His helping unchanging hand is a "light unto our feet and a lamp unto our path" Psalm 119:105, for our guidance in this world!
For it is also our spiritual food or bread, as the Lord says in His Word in Matthew 4:4 "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
For without the Lord's guidance in this world, we cannot make right choices that will lead us to life (or success) whether spiritually, emotionally in relationships, physically or financially. For remember that it says in His Word in Proverbs 14:12 "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." For without the Lord we end up going through stuff in life that is not His will for us to go through and also end up at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Let us also daily remember what the Lord through the Apostle Paul tells us concerning His Church in Ephesians 5:26-27 "That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of the water by the word, That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." And this has the Lord also told me that: "without the studying of His Word or the washing of the water of His Word, no man will enter heaven" As we also need our hearts and minds to be daily cleansed by His Word. For we must know Him and what He requires from us daily.
So it is to our benefit that we seek Him daily and also for His direction in our lives, for our own good. And this is by seeking Him in prayer and in His Word, as the Lord also desires to know us intimately. For when we also study His Word, He sees that we are seeking Him and His will for our lives, as nothing is hidden from Him and He helps us.
The Lord also wants us to seek Him with all of our hearts, so that we may find Him, as He tells us in Jeremiah 29:13 "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." For He loves it when we are intimately with Him, fellowship with Him and keep Him company. So go to Him, for He yearns for your presence. Remember that He created us for fellowship with Him.
And as we also read, where the Lord tells Timothy through the Apostle Paul and now to us His saints in 2 Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth." This we must do so we can know His Word so well and use it against our enemy, the devil, as our spiritual sword, when he comes against us, as Jesus did when He first came 2,000 years ago.
The Lord wants me to let you know that you must study His Word daily, so you can know it and Him so well, so you do not get deceived by the enemy through the false church and the unbelieve. For the devil is rampant out there with his lies and knows the Word of God, but twists it for his own evil purposes through his own children, for the purpose to destroy our souls. For when we study His Word, we grow in discernment and become as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves, as the Lord commands us to be in Matthew 10:16 "Behold, I sent you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: (or the wicked in this world) be ye therefore wise as serpents, and as harmless as doves."
So let us truly acknowledge the Lord in all of our ways daily, through prayer and by reading His Word, so He can direct our paths in our lives, as He says in Proverbs 3:6, first thing in the morning and by also ending the day with Him. But remember to also acknowledge Him throughout your day, by talking to Him, singing to Him through praise and worship music, also by taking Him with you wherever you go and by having Him with you in all you do. For He loves to hear your voice, for He alone is the Sweet Lover of your soul, a very present help in times of trouble and the Friend that sticks closer than a brother!! Blessed be His holy name!
