IF you come across something in your reading which you don’t understand, tell Him about it, ask Him about it. Maybe God has challenged you. Tell Him how you feel. But always remember that what God asks, He asks for good. He is loving and merciful, not manipulative and harsh. Fill your prayer with Scriptures. Using the Word you have read helps you ensure that your prayer lines up with God’s Word and intention for your life. Don’t bring what you think you need to hear, this is about what God has to say to you. Do not bring fear that you will misinterpret the text. Do not bring what others have said.  It is all about what God has to say to you.

You can read the Bible or think well about the Word of God, but unless you live in the Word as well, you miss the point.  You can preach it, you can teach it, from Genesis to Revelation.

So take time to splash round in the Word to absorb it, to discover what God has to say to you each day because your life depends on knowing it. When you have taken God’s Word to heart and truly made it part of you, it will by its very nature change you – and when it does, you will  find yourself called to act.
