If I want to be spiritually healthy, I must STUDY and DO God’s Word. There are so many promises in the Bible where God says, “If you get my Word into mind, I will bless your business, I will bless your family, I will bless your your heart and into your health, I will bless your finances, if you get this book into you and into every area of your life.”
Whatever area of our lives we want God to bless, we’ve got to do what God advises on that area of life.
Psalm 1:1-3 says this:
“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.”
The premise is that if we’ll really think on God’s ways of doing life, value it, and put it into practice – even the parts that don’t come naturally, He promises to make our lives fruitful – lives that produce things of value.
And if this habit of studying and doing God’s Word is currently interrupted by other habits, it’s time to swap out unhealthy habits for ones that will help us to be spiritually healthy
Jesus said “You are my friends if you do what I command.” John 15:14
James taught the same principle in his letter:
“But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it— not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.”
James 1:25
Notice, the believer who INTENTLY – there’s the study part; and CONTINUES in it – there’s the habit part; and doesn’t forget but DOES what it says – there’s the doing part; that person will be blessed in what they do.
Do you want to be spritually strong? Develop a habit of being not just a student, but a doer of the word. Make this declaration... "I’m going to read the Word of God and do what it says, every day."
