They say who you’re around rubs off on you. This begins from a small age with your parents. Both good and bad can come from this.
It is from others that we learn who we want to become and who we don’t. You may hear yourself saying something you never thought you would, but it just comes out because of what has been inbred into you.
The words spoken to us and over us stick with us long after they are said. God’s Word will always remain. If we let it become a part of us, we will carry the love, grace, hope, and direction needed to live our best life.
You can’t obey what you don’t know or can’t understand. Some get discouraged when they read the Bible because they can’t understand what it says let alone how it can apply to their own life. When you commit your life to Christ and wholly accept Him to walk with you, amazing things can happen.
When Jesus ascended into heaven, 120 people gathered in an upper room and it was there that the Advocate Jesus talked about came to be with them. Jesus told them that it was time for Him to go and He must go, but a helper would be sent to be with us.
The Holy Spirit would be with us and it would be in us. With His help you have the opportunity to live the life God has planned for you. His Spirit becomes your guide. He makes it so you can understand and see things differently—through God’s eyes.
God’s Word can come alive when you read it because of His understanding. When you find it relevant to you it is more natural to remember what it says and to live by it. Pray today that God will help you to see people and to think about situations the way He does.
Ask for His help to make the Scriptures come alive to you and to be able to see what they mean for you. How can we pray for you today?
