Praying Through Scriptures: The Importance of Bible Study

I can’t overemphasize the importance of Bible study. Personally, as a believer I want to better understand God’s nature and will. The Word of God is surprisingly revealing about these details. The Bible definitely reveals that Jesus, the Son of God brought light into a dark world:

Psalm 119:105 (KJV) -Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Proverbs 6:23 (KJV) - “For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.”

Psalm 16:11 (KJV) - “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

Psalm 18.28 (KJV) - “For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.”

The Bible is the most important book that has ever been written. It reveals our sin and sinful nature, and it shows that the only path to Salvation is Jesus. Jesus is the light of the world and the remedy for our sins.

In addition, the Bible is the best guide for practical living, especially in the book of Proverbs. The Bible should be read and studied by the believer daily. It always provides food for spiritual and practical growth. Here are some good examples:

Proverbs 3.31(KJV) - “Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.”

Proverbs 6.10 (KJV) - “Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:”

Prayer
Dear Lord, I pray that my desire for studying your Word would only increase. I want to know more about your will, plan of salvation, and how to share what I learn with others. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

TWO PATHS – TWO FRUITS - TWO ENDS

“Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.” — Psalm 1:5 (KJV) Overall, Psalm 1 is a Psalm of contrast. It presents a path that ultimately leads to destruction ( Psalm 1:1 ) and a path that ultimately leads to a life where the “ leaf also shall not wither ” (Psalm 1: 2-3). In life, these two paths leads to two different types of fruits. The first (and righteous path) leads to fruit that is acceptable to God that derives from the abundant “ rivers of water ” springing forth from Christ at Calvary ( Psalm 1:3 ). The destructive path yields a fruit of chaff “ which the wind driveth away ” ( Psalm 1:4 ) . The ones who yielded the righteous fruit will have a joyous life everlasting where they belong to God and God belongs to them. In the final outcome, God will take the ones who yielded Chaff and cast them into the fire.  In Psalm 1:5 , once again you have a contrast presented. You have two types of people: the ungodly/sinners a
