Proverbs
23:23 Buy
the truth, and sell it
not;
also
wisdom,
and instruction, and understanding.
We
live in an age that says there are no absolutes, there is no “truth,”
and what you believe is not important. In essence this is a world
full of compromise and dilution of faith. That is the culture of the
world we live in, but the Bible tells us that while we are in this
world, we are not of this world. The Church of the living God is
counter to the culture of this present world. And it is time that we
stand our ground and boldly proclaim that we are Apostolic without
Apology!
We
need to dig into the Word of God deeper than ever before and put it
in out hearts so that when the enemy tries to come at us, we will
have the promises of God to stand on. We need to get a hunger for
the Word. David said “taste and see” that the Lord he is good,
elsewhere he said to God “thy word have I hid in my heart.”
David was hungry for the things of God, not only the comforting words
that made him feel better, but the words of correction that would
help him get back in line if he ever strayed away.
When
we have this hunger for God's Word, we will get a hunger to do the
things in the Word, and follow the doctrines found within it. Let's
not be hearers of the Word only, but doers also.
Be
faithful by being faith-full.
David
also wrote “blessed be the Lord who daily loadeth us with benefits,
even the God of our salvation.” You see when we are walking in the
Word, we will be BLESSED, not only with truth but with wisdom,
instruction and understanding...all a part of growing in God.
Let's
grow together!
