Why do You Study?
Well, whats your answer? Do You study to grow? Do You study to be challenged to change? Do You study to receive fresh Mana from Heaven? Do You Study to become more like God? or Do You study seeking to find something that Your friends may not know, to find a new Gem that you can claim to be Yours?
Here’s a quote from a book I’m reading on study at the minute by Rick Warren “Don’t study to find something new – rather study to find something for You!”
I like 2 Timothy 2:15 in the Amplified Bible – “Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth.”
Heres a Golden Nugget for You “The Most important part of Studying Gods word is the Application”
If we apply Gods word to every area of our lives, then when our ‘test by trial’ comes along we will be able go get through, it may not be easy, but WE WILL GET THROUGH! Fix your eyes on Jesus, Do everything in your power to fill your mind with Gods word, Listen to Gods word, Read Gods word, meditate on Gods word – If You want to grow in God You Need to spend Quality Time so be encouraged to spend that Time in His beautiful Presence as often as is possible!
