2 Timothy 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Understanding and Faith comes from hearing the Word; but we must hear it in truth DAILY, so we receive the conviction of our sins. There’s nothing about God’s Word that has not been said before; but when we begin to hear the Word of TRUTH, God speaks to us. When we hear God’s voice, we receive conviction by the Word and become ashamed of our sins; just as Adam was in the Garden of Eden. When we hear the Word in the flesh; we reject it, so there’s no conviction, so there will be no change. But when we study the Word daily we begin to hear the Word in Spirit, and the Spirit gives us belief and faith helps us change. Hearing the Word is always good; but when we STUDY the Word we grow. As we grow, we begin to understand who we are in the Lord; and who He is in us. Doing this transformation the power of the Holy Spirit; will comply us to act by the Word of God, then He will reveal to us the secrets of His powers. As our understanding of His power increases; our will decreases, then God can use us to draw others near to Him. But this transformation can only happen if we study the Word daily; pray without ceasing, and have faith in the Word.
Lord, give us a strong desire for Your Word so we will study daily; that we may mature into strong, unwavering believers of Christ. Father, teach us the parables of Your Word; so we can receive the Your wisdom, and give us the knowledge of how to use its power. Lord, forgive us for not obeying Your Word; and dishonoring You, with our sinful desires. Father, let Your Word convict us of our sins; so we may repent and turn away from them. Father, thank You for saving us; and restoring us to You. Thank You, for peace, love, and joy that comes from knowing who You are; and what You can do. Now, Lord, continue to work in and through us as we study Your Word today and every day; and keep us in Your will. In Jesus name, Amen
