Be Rooted in the Word

"For the word of the LORD is right and true;
   He is faithful in all He does"

Psalm 33:4

 

Our hope should be in the Word of God. Jesus clearly tells us that there will be trials and tribulations, but have faith in Me. Paul also says in Hebrews, "without faith it is impossible to please God." So faith is a important part of our daily lives, but how do we stand strong in faith and how can we strengthen our faith; by the Word of the living God. The Bible tells us in Romans 10:17 "then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." This is why it is very important to read our scriptures daily and to build our lives upon the Rock, which is Christ. The Word of God should be the greatest influence upon our lives, our actions should always be judged according to the Bible. We sometimes loose focus upon the Word and go to others for directions or counsel, but all the answers we ever need are found in the Bible. We don't understand the importance of the Word of God, if we really want to see its power, look at the world today. The world we stand upon today was fashioned by the Word of God, that is the power and magnificence of His Word. They are life giving and healing to our bones. If we stand upon the Word and base our lives upon it, we will be like the house built upon the Rock. The storm will come and the waves will bash it, but we will not be shaken.

" I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word" – Psalm 138:2
