Importance of Meditating in God's Word.

The Word of God is essential for the regenerated man. It is both his nourishment and his healing. God's Word has the power to transform lives, change nations, and move mountains.

Yet, many people do not know how to study the Word. Some don’t even know where to start.

Others read the Bible as if it were just another piece of literature. But the Word of God is far more than that—it is living and powerful, especially when mixed with faith. We must learn to meditate on the Word and invite the Holy Spirit to teach us and reveal its hidden truths.

As you go through this study, may the eyes of your understanding be enlightened!
