Word!!!!!

I have hidden your WORD in my heart that I might not sin against YOU. (Psalm 119:11-NLT)

Back in the day when someone would say something that resonated in your spirit, the correct response would be “Word!”

That typically meant….“You are absolutely right!” or “I agree!” or “Good point!”

Today, I have a new appreciation for the word “WORD”.

I am not ashamed to admit that I am in love with the WORD of GOD. I get excited when I open my bible because I am excited about what GOD wants me to know. I share with women all the time that the WORD of GOD is how GOD speaks to us. As far as I’m concerned I need GOD to speak to me erry (every) day!

We learn how to do so many cool things. We learn the latest line dance. We learn to cook our favorite meals. We learn new languages. We learn lyrics to songs. We learn how to use the latest technology. So why can’t we learn the WORD?

How do you learn that other stuff? Practice! By doing it over and over until you have it committed to memory. The same thing should be done with GOD’s WORD!

Open your bible more than just on Sunday. Read it out loud. Listen to it audibly. Share it with someone else. Read it over and over until it sinks into your heart. You never know when you may need that WORD.

What does the WORD do for me?????

1. The WORD is my way! The WORD shows me where to go and how to get there!

YOUR WORD is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalm 119:105)

2. The WORD is my weapon! I use the WORD to fight!

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD of GOD. (Ephesians 6:17)

3. The WORD makes me whole! The WORD shows me to myself and points to areas that need to be strengthened!

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)

GOD’s WORD is full of the love and the promises and the plans that HE has for us all!!! Get in your WORD……Word???

Peace & Blessings!
