LEARN GOD'S WORD

“But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:14-17
"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." Psalm 119:105

Examine your heart when it comes to learning God's Word for motives, concerns, readiness, and equipment.

"Lord, I pray that You, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, will give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You, that the eyes of my understanding will be enlightened; that I may know what is the hope of Your calling, what are the glorious riches of Your inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power toward me who believes, according to the working of Your mighty power, in Jesus name. Amen!" (A personalized prayer based on Ephesians 1:17-19 from "The Most Powerful Prayer We Can Pray When Studying God’s Word" from onfire-ministries.org)

SET: When God sent Moses with a message, Moses knew it may not be received or go well for him, to the point that in Exodus 4, Moses complained, "I am slow of speech and tongue” and said to the Lord, "Please send someone else". But Moses did go! Moses was later described as being "powerful in speech and action" (Acts 7:22). When it comes to learning God's Word, you may think, "Please help me, Lord, this is too hard to understand" but God is calling you to connect with Him in His Word, His handwritten love letter to you. He will overcome your fears and faults to teach you and work through you. When we trust God, our inadequacy becomes our legacy.
