The Word

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. —John 10:27 NIV

God Has a Plan and He Invites Us to Join With Him


Our Heart Must Be Made Ready to Hear the Voice of God

23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting. —Psalm 139:23-24 NIV

16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. —2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV

God’s Word Speaks to Us and Thoroughly Equips Us

When Our Heart is Made Ready, God’s Word Comes Alive

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 NIV

God’s Word Speaks to Us and Leads Us

Your word is a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path. —Psalm 119:105 NIV

God’s Word Speaks to Us and Sustains Us

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” —Matthew 4:4 NIV

Dear God,
I believe that every verse in the Bible is inspired by You. I believe that you want to teach me and guide me in my life. Search my Heart and use Your Word to convict me and correct me. Dear God, please use Your Word to train me and equip me for everything that You’ve prepared for me. Please use your Word to speak to me. I desire to join You in Your plan.
In Jesus name, Amen.
