Title: It is the will of God in Jesus Christ that you soak in His word.
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Hebrews 11:6 NKJV
Abraham the father of all who believe in Jesus Christ pleased God, he was justified by God to the point that Almighty God surnamed Himself by Abraham- the God of Abraham (Exodus 3:15). Wow! You may ask: What so special a thing did He do? He prepared his heart to be receptive to the word of God. His heart was positive towards God. He allowed the word of God to sink into him. In short his heart (mind, intellect, emotions, will and conscience) was receptive ground for the word of God. When the word of God is allowed to sink into a positively orientated heart, it explodes to release a spiritual substance called faith, with which you will always please God and God will reward you with His presence in your life and much more (Romans 10:17).
Point of reflection: Remember Almighty God seeks a relationship with you. It is an extremely rewarding relationship because of His attributes. He is love, He is righteous, He is Holy and He is just. He is good and above all He is Almighty and the One person you need on your side. Glory be to God. His throne and His being are founded on these principles. You need faith to please Him and faith manifests in you when your prepared heart interacts with His word and you allow His word to positively soak your heart. Do you desire to soak in His word? When you are ready-
Prayer of consecration: Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for your faithfulness, your love and your goodness. Today I open my heart to your word. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ the bread of life to suffer and die for my sin. Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
