In previous posts, I encouraged us to read and meditate on God’s Word daily. Then, I stated that we must sincerely believe what we have read.

Every Christian should make the study and application of the Bible a priority in their life. If we are committed to the God of the Word, then we also will be committed to the Word of God!
