As a part of my daily devotionals I like to read the Proverb that match the day's number. Here are my thoughts for today:
Proverbs 23:12 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
This reminds me of another verse:
Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Study, memorization & application are the keys to gaining victory over sin. We've got to be diligent, not only receiving the word but applying it to our heart.
Matthew 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, he could have rebuked Satan of his own power, but he choose instead to use scripture. It is written...There is power in 'Thus sayeth the Lord'.
Lord, wake me early every morning so that I will have time to study your word. Help me to take it to heart, apply it to my life & keep me from sin. In Jesus name Amen.
