Psalm 119: How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. 10 I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. 11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. 12 Praise be to you, O L ORD ; teach me your decrees. 13 With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth. 14 I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. 15 I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. 16 I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.

Question How Much Is God’s Word WORTH To Me?

If I Love God… …I Will Love His Word If I Love His Word… …I Will Study His Word If I Study His Word… …I Will Live By His Word If I Live By His Word… …I Will Memorize His Word Where do I fall in this process?!?!?!

H ELPFUL A TTITUDES F OR B IBLE S TUDY What kind of person makes a good Bible student? Here are some attitudes to emulate to assist you in becoming a good student of God’s Word: 1.Spiritually hungry – Jesus said we are blessed if we hunger and thirst for righteousness (Matthew 5:6). 2.Receptive to God’s truth – we need to be open-minded and yielded in our spirit to hear God’s truth fully. 3.Devoted – studying the Bible will require time and effort. It is not easy. 4.Obedient – when God reveals truth to us, we need to implement it right away. 5.Disciplined – making time for study will require strong will and diligence to the process of learning. It is like learning any other difficult skill. However, just like a trained pianist is “free” to play the piano, we can also be “free” to live the life God has planned for us.
