Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2
Timothy 2:15).
As you grow in Christ, one important decision
you must make is to continually increase your knowledge of the Word. Be
passionate to know the Lord more through careful and diligent study of the
Scriptures. Give more attention to the Word of God; digest it into your spirit;
meditate on it. Never assume that you already know enough of the Word.
Abide in knowledge. The more you study the
Word, the more you discover who Christ is, His character and nature, and also,
the more you discover who you are in Him. And as you study, He manifests
Himself to you in increasing glory. Our opening verse says, “Study to shew
thyself approved unto God....” In other words, study to be successful; study to
be updated, and increase your knowledge.
The Bible says through knowledge shall the
just be delivered (not only out of trouble), but into their inheritance
(Proverbs 11:9). Christ has brought us freedom from defeat and freedom from
sin; He’s given us the ability to decide the kind of life we want to live. He’s
brought us liberty; He said, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free” (John 8:32).
When you get to know the Word of God, you
become free in the area of the truth that you know. So, continually fuel your
appetite for the Word of God. Meditate on the Scriptures day and night, and
you’ll be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, fruitful, productive, and
prospering exceedingly in all that you do.
PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for giving
me your Word, a material to build my life with, and usher myself into higher
levels of glory, promotions, victories and success. As I meditate on the Word,
your wisdom exudes from me, and your grace causes me to be fruitful and
productive in all things, and function excellently, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY: 2 Timothy 3:14-15 But continue
thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of
whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy
scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which
is in Christ Jesus.
Proverbs 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will
increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
Hosea 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on
to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come
unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
