Rooted In The Word

I love to decorate my house with God's Word. Especially by writing it on colour charts and pasting it on the wall was my delight when I was young. “And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates,” says Deuteronomy 6:9.

Very recently, my husband shared his experience on the road when he was riding the bike. He met a young man on the way who asked for a ride. Upon accepting, the conversation between the two started, and the young man shared his story. He listened to it, and then the man stepped down from the bike when his stop was near. In a few seconds, another man stopped him and asked for a ride, and again, he too shared his story. Upon reaching home, his mind was filled with the stories of these men who were talking with him. He said how wonderful it would be if we let God's voice fill our minds like this throughout the day.

No wonder the Bible asked us to talk about God's Word with each other, write it over walls, and bind it at our wrists, so that our minds can be filled with it. To walk in the Spirit, we need to give food to our spirit man and take care of it. In this way, we empower our spiritual life and defeat the flesh. With all the fascinating things happening around the world, it requires that we set a habit to keep the mobile away from us for a while and immerse ourselves in the Word of God.

Hey friends, this summer holiday, let's develop meaningful hobbies as families. Let's invite and celebrate God's Word in every area of our lives.

Dear God, give us the love and discipline required to grow in the knowledge of knowing You and Your ways. May Your lovely words add strength to our spirit and empower us to defeat every deceitful thought and idea that comes from the enemy. In Jesus' name, we pray, Lord. Amen.
