Change the Way you Think
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. – Romans 12:2
WEEK 3 (March 15 – March 21, 2021)
Diligently Study the Word
By Hope McCardy & Rashad McCardy
For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
Hebrews 4:12
When something is alive, we think of it as having a heartbeat or perhaps consistent growth and maturity. As such, how can the Word be alive? Does it have a beating heart and the other characteristics of living things?
Indeed, it does, and so much more.
As we consume the Word, it becomes the life and breath of our soul – our very heart-beat. It infuses our innermost being reproducing God’s values, morals, wisdom, and guidance into our cells, tissues, organs, and systems. It releases new power, gives us keen discernment, and reveals to us things that have been hidden from us for a long time.
We can read the Bible one thousand (1000) times and still on the one thousandth and one (1001) time find something new that penetrates our hearts and minds. This reality certainly inspires us to make the living Word a part of our daily walk and growth.
My Prayer
(Pray for your husband and children as well)
Father God, please give me an even greater thirst for the knowledge and understanding of Your Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Memo to Self
Elect to study the Word. Meditate on at least one (1) verse daily.
Changing the Way you Think
- My Old Way of Thinking: The Bible is outdated.
- My New Way of Thinking: The Word is living and powerful. It is most relevant for my life today.
