Hello hearing ones!
I want to encourage you today to do everything based on the Word of God. Develop a good stronghold based on the Word of God (see 2 Corinthians 10:3-6). Always receive the implanted Word, which James tells us, is able to save our souls (see James 1:21). Let His Word correct you because the Lord wants to rescue you. The Word is the answer to any problem you may be facing in your life.
Also, be aware of what you are tuned in to. Do not allow worry to dominate your mind. Instead, do what Romans 12:2 tells you to do,
And Joshua 1:8 tells us what we are to be thinking about. It says to,
I exhort you to have EARS TO HEAR. Isaiah 55:8-9 says,
Let us always have EARS TO HEAR and not itching ears, like 2 Timothy 4:3-4 declares. It says,
I want to encourage you that anyone can have EARS TO HEAR. It is up to you to choose to listen to God's Word. There are a million things vying for your attention, but Proverbs 4:20-22 says,
Although it is of the utmost importance that we HAVE EARS TO HEAR the Word of God, James 1:22 says,
On purpose, obey the Word and do what it tells you to do. This is what being a disciple means ~ a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, which means doing what His Word tells us to do. Try hard not to make excuses, but just line your life up with the Word. Do not try to change the Word to fit your lifestyle, but let your lifestyle be changed by the Word.
Let us crave the Word, like 1 Peter 2:2 tells us to. It says,
Let us choose not to think the way the world thinks. Let God transform your life. Be imitators of God as dear children. Learn from the Lord Jesus Christ. Afterall, He is our prototype.
HAVING EARS TO HEAR,
