Thought For Today: “Know God’s Word”

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth.” (Joshua 1:8a)

To be able to speak God’s word we must know it.

Jesus was able to effectively thwart Satan’s temptations because He knew the Word. Jesus understood the Word and was able to use it effectively as a weapon against Satan.

This is at the heart of the Psalmist recommendation, saying, “Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” (Psalm 119:11)

This was also the Apostle Paul’s recommendation to Timothy.

“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)

We need to constantly be in God’s word, learning what it says if we want to live effective and courageous lives.
