Stay in the Word Daily

 Scripture:

“Each day the king must read and obey these laws, so that he will learn to worship the Lord with fear and trembling and not think that he's better than everyone else. If the king completely obeys the Lord's commands, he and his descendants will rule Israel for many years.” ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭17:19-20‬ ‭CEV‬‬

Observation:

Here the Lord tells Moses that each day the king who they appoint to rule must read and obey God’s laws so he will learn to worship the Lord with fear and trembling. It is also to keep him humble. If he does that, he and his descendants will rule for many years. God wants leaders to constantly be in the Word so it can humble them.

Application:

The word of God is powerful. When we stay in it daily, it will change our lives. The Lord knew that kings would have power go to their heads and He knew that reading God’s word each day would keep them humble and fearing the Lord. We must realize that the Word of God is alive and powerful. We must learn to cherish our time in the Word because, if we walk in it and do as it says, we will prosper in life.

Prayer:

Father, help me to stay hungry for Your word and Your Spirit. I want both. I want to be filled with Your Spirit to overflowing and to know Your word and stay in it daily. Feed me daily from Your Word and Your Spirit. Help me to stay in step with You at all times. I want to lead well in my generation.

Your Son,

Jeff
