Day 325 Bible Reading: Ezekiel 43-44, James 5, Psalm 119:1-16 and Proverbs 28:3-5
What is the secret of living a pure life – it is by storing God’s word in our hearts because we are thankful for his love and respond to our relationship with him. This is more than just memorizing, understanding, accepting, and absorbing His word. The standards, principles, and values for living life that are there in God’s word, without a personal relationship with God and communicate with God, those values help you to be a good man, but not God’s sons and daughters. We are re-born by the spirit; we are sons and daughters of heavenly Father. God’s words need to become our attributes to live so that we will look like our heavenly Father and our brother – Jesus (Hebrews2:11).
"I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you." – Psalm 119:11 (English Standard Version)
"Heavenly Father, thank you for your word, the bible. Thank you for the truths, which are in your word. I pray that we will store your word in our hearts by absorbing as our own, the standards, principles, and values in your word because I love you. I want to have a good relationship with you. I don't want to break your heart, so I may not sin against you. In Jesus' name, Amen."
