Fill Your Mind With God's Word

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16 (KJV)

Filling your mind with good thoughts translates to filling your mind with the word of God because only the word is good. The word of God is all you need. That is why the payoff of this ministry is “Power in the Word”. Whatever the word cannot give you, one, you don’t need it, and two does not exist. All you need can be found in the word of God. A child is in the word. A car is in the word. A spouse is in the word. Achieving success in your exams is in the word. As I always say, you can take everything I have from me, throw me in the desert with the word of God, and I will still produce. The things you see today are created by the word of God. Without the word, nothing can be made.

The word of God will put food on your table, clothes on your back, and shelter over your head. Soak yourself in the word of God. Let nothing else take the place of the word. Rather than skip the word, skip the food. That is why Job said the word was more important to him than the basic necessity of food. I know there are many things competing for your time today: academics, social life, work, family, etc. As important as they all are, they are not more important than the word. Rather than not reading the word, skip a meal. You can set your alarm to wake you up one hour earlier than your scheduled time. Find a way to work on studying the word. The world today is designed to make life difficult, but you can work your problems and prioritize the word because when the dividends of the word come, you will be the envy of all.

May the Lord order your steps today as you fill your heart with His word.
