Psalm 119:11 - " I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."
Last week we talked about second chances...this week let's talk about what to do with them.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different outcome. Better results require a different plan. The Word of God must be the key ingredient, if your plan is to improve.
In Ephesians, the only offensive weapon listed in the armor of God is "...the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."(Eph 6:17) If you want to change your life you need to combat sin, the Word of God is the weapon for that battle.
"My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you." (Prov. 7: 1) Notice to be effective the Word is ... Hidden in our heart ... stored within us. We have to submerse ourselves in scripture, until it becomes part of our DNA.
Do you want change? Do you want 2016 to be the beginning of something amazing? Then don't go into the battle without a Sword. God's Word can not be just a part of your life, it has to be a part of you. Let it be your internal compass. Let it be the "light unto your path".
This year, don't let the urgent overwhelm the important.
Open the Word of God each morning to start your day. If you will "store up His commands within you.", it will produce an eternal change in your soul, and make you more than a conqueror. You can win the battles, but only by "the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."
“The soul can do without everything except the word of God, without which none at all of its wants are provided for.” ― Martin Luther
