Proverbs 13:13 (NIV)
13 Whoever scorns instruction will pay for it,
but whoever respects a command is rewarded.
but whoever respects a command is rewarded.
As Christians, we have the Spirit of God in us. But ours is
the responsibility to keep sin out of our lives so that the Spirit can produce
His fruit in us. Become grounded in the Bible. As Christians, we have only one
authority, one compass: the Word of God. Abraham Lincoln in a letter to a
friend said, “I am profitably engaged in reading the Bible. Take all of this
Book upon reason that you can, and the balance upon faith. You will live and
die a better man.” Begin the day with the Book; and as the day comes to a
close, let the Word speak its wisdom to your soul. Let it be the firm
foundation upon which your hope is built. Let it be the Staff of Life upon
which your spirit is nourished. Let it be the Sword of the Spirit which cuts
away the evil of your life and fashions you in His image and likeness.
Thought for today:
Can I hear and embrace instruction?
