“My people are destroyed (perish) for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” (Hosea 4:6)

Too many Christians go through life not living in the blessing of God, yet they are available to everyone.  You might say, “Why is that?”  Well, this verse in the Old Testament tells us pretty clearly in the first part, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”.  You see, when we don’t take time to dig into the Word of God and see the many promises that God our loving Father has given to us, then we live only in this world system, and this world system is passing away.

Think about it.  How would I know about salvation unless I read it in the Bible or heard someone preach this truth from the Bible?  It’s the same with the fruits of the Spirit or healing or provision or any other benefit that the Bible has for us.  Also, too many Christians are living on second hand knowledge, and this is OK, but there is something very special when you open your own Bible and have the Holy Spirit speak to your heart.  At that point it becomes so real that no devil can take it from you.

Try it and you will see that God’s Word truly doesn’t return void but it will accomplish what it was sent out to do.  Read His Word for yourself.  Don’t say, “I don’t understand it”.  That’s a lie from the devil.  The Bible is God’s love letter to you.  Read it that way, read it over and over.  See what it says about you.

You will find a treasure like never before.  You will find bushels of blessings that will last you throughout all your life.  Think of all the time that you spent watching a show on TV that you won’t even remember in a week.  You could have taken some of that time and read His Word that will last you for eternity.  So go ahead, make that decision to read His Word and you will not lack in any good thing.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we come to you Lord with praise and love for you. Please forgive us for getting caught up in all of the distractions of this world. I confess to make a quality decision today to read the Word and to be a doer of it.  Today, I am going for a treasure that will last for all eternity and not just a television season. Today, I chose to make a decision to seek more holy spirit fellowship with you and not the internet search engines. Your Holy Word will last us an eternity. Thank you for loving me. In your precious name, Amen.
