CENTRALITY OF THE WORD DURING QUIET TIME AND FAMILY DEVOTION
In order to benefit maximally from personal bible study, we need to know the purpose and focus of the Holy writ.
Though a revelation of God, and containing more information about our past, present and future than any other book, its design is to show us the salvation of God obtainable through Christ Jesus (Psalm 27:1a, John 20:31) the bible has a practical purpose of guiding us into the experience of salvation is exclusively through Christ, the focus of the entire bible is centered on the Savior. (John 5:39 &46).
Christ is made and kept real to us as we study the Word “day by day”. For times of meditative study of the divine book, our prayer should be:
Break thou the bread of life
Dear Lord to me
As Thou didst break the loaves
Beside the sea
Beyond the sacred page
I need Thee Lord
My spirit pants for The
O Living Word.
Be exceedingly blessed as you approach Him today in your service to Him. Remember, a double minded man will receive nothing from God so be open and be expectant.
