Spending Time in God’s Word

John 8:31, 32

The Bible says that the first thing that a disciple is, – is someone who continues in God s Word.

How do you get into God s Word on a regular basis?

We have to make getting into God’s word a habit.

What is a habit?  “It is a continual, often unconscious inclination to do a certain activity, acquired through frequent repetition.”

Or it’s “an established disposition of the character”.

What this is saying is character is simply a habitual way of doing things.

So how do we get a handle on understanding our Bible? – 2 Tim 3:16-17

1.  We have to learn to feed ourselves.
2. We have to hear God’s word.

Since hearing is the way that a lot of people take in God’s word, it is important that we do what we can to improve our hearing.

Four ways to improve your hearing.

1. BE READY AND EAGER TO HEAR GOD. – Mark 4:9
2. CONFESS ANY SIN IN OUR LIFE. – James 1:21; Isa. 55:11
3. TAKE NOTES ON WHAT YOU HEAR. – Heb. 2:1
4. ACT ON WHAT WE HEAR. – James 1:22,25

Before we can put into practice or continue in God’s word, we have to know what it says.  And to know what it says, we have to:

Hear, Read, Study, Memorize, Meditate, and Apply it.

I hope that you will make a commitment today to make God’s Word an important part of your life every day.
