Better be in God's Word!

Great verse to remind us how important God's Word is to us!



Proverbs 28:9

9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,

Even his prayer is an abomination.



There are two ways one can turn his ear away from the (law) God's Word. The first is the most obvious. Intentionally staying away from the Bible because you do not believe the Bible is God's Word. So that person has no desire to follow God in the first place. You would be surprised though at how many will still lift their petitions to God but He is not listening to anything from them until they cry out for salvation. The second way folks turn away from hearing God's word is less obvious but is happening quit often. This is when those who call themselves Christians but they do not read their Bibles and thus have very little knowledge at what God's Word says. Sadly the church has many of these folks who fill the pews. When we are not reading God's Word we are turning our ear from the hearing of the law! We are missing out on the main way God speaks to us! Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible and the whole thing is about the importance of God's Word....coincidence? I think not. I believe without reservation if we don't have enough time or feel it is important enough to read and study God's Word than God doesn't feel our prayers to Him are important either. Reread this verse! What do you think?



This devotion should give you something to think about on this Monday! God bless and pick up that Bible!
