“Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.” (Psalm 119:11)
In moments of uncertainty, when we grapple with decisions, the importance of Bible study becomes even more pronounced. Engaging with Scripture not only helps us discern right from wrong but also illuminates God’s purpose and direction in our lives. Take, for instance, Pilate. He knew the truth yet chose to turn away from it, a choice that resonates with many of us. We often find ourselves in similar situations, aware of the right path but hesitating to take it. This is where the concept of Bible action—applying what we learn from Scripture—comes into play. The Bible consistently calls us to be doers of the Word, urging us to translate our beliefs into tangible actions rather than merely listening passively.
The church has faced criticism for being a community of believers who, at times, falter in putting those beliefs into practice. Let us strive for a different narrative. May our dedication to Bible study ignite a flame of action within us as we seek to embrace our faith fully and fulfill the calling God has placed on our lives. The Lord who calls us is also faithful to equip us, empowering us to not only understand His Word but to live it out boldly.
“Our beliefs should lead us to action. What we claim to believe should profoundly shape the way we live. Bible study should naturally lead to Bible action.”
Heavenly Father, You created me with the desire to follow You and to embrace Your teachings. I earnestly seek to walk in Your ways and to fulfill the plans You have for my life. Grant me the wisdom to learn Your Word deeply and the courage to live it out authentically. Shield me from straying into wrongdoing, and nurture my faith as I immerse myself in Your teachings. Search my heart, O Lord, and reveal any anxious thoughts within me. Show me any offensive ways I may harbor and guide me in Your everlasting way. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
