I have learned and continue to learn about the strength I receive when I read God’s Word. It builds me up and directs my path. It is living water for me. When I am thirsty, I drink a glass of water. When I am spiritually dry, I read the scriptures.
I can see life more clearly than if I fill myself by reading the newspaper. The words on the page will give me information but not food for my soul.
For the Word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 NASB)
