The Word.

"Your Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (Psalms 119:105)
I've read one of Kenyon's book entitled "Sense Knowledge & Revelation Knowledge." It was here that I've learned how our minds were trained to think like the world does. Due to our long school exposure, we do a lot of things which do not agree with the Word of God. There are some mindsets (way of thinking) that we think are acceptable, because that's the way we were trained & taught in school. We judge some of our actions as "ok", because we already practiced them long enough that we already sticked to them. We justify some of our unrenewed thoughts & actions, thus we compromise the veracity & authority of God's Word in our lives. The true beauty of a born-again christian is his devoted walk with God. That's why the Bible tells us, we are no longer of this world; God has already taken us out from this worldy system & translated us to His ways of doing things. God never gets tired on reminding us that He does things different from how we do things. But God did not stop there, moreover He said, "But I sent you My Word so that you may know the way I think and that you may know my way of doing things." God already deposited in us the potential to become winners in life; His fullness was already given and it is residing on the inside of us. The Bible is not a "fantasy book" but is the Very Word of God. It is not an "optional book" but is the Book of Life. The Bible is the Truth. If I am a person searching for good stuff & wanting my life to become more meaningful, then I should go to "the Way, the Truth, and the Life"...The Word.
If I am that person who wants to know how to discern good from evil, I need to go back to the Word. If I want to know how to judge things, if it is God's or not, then, there is only ONE Source, The Word.
God says, " If you shall meditate on the Word of God day and night, and you are doing it experientially, then YOU shall make YOUR way prosperous & YOU shall have good success." God is not impressed with man's education. Why? Because He is the Source of all wisdom & knowledge. God is not impressed by any of man's good work. Why? Because He is the Source of power & strength. We cannot boast on God. Why? Because He is our Total Source. Man's idea about God are like filthy rags in His presence, because He is the God of all graces. Before we did anything right & good in His sight, God sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for us to receive the God-kind of life. That's grace, that's unconditional love! "While we were yet sinners, God already loved us".
To know God is to Know Him in His Word. When we take the Word of God as our daily mirror and be willing to obey Him, and renew our mind, will & emotion then we shall have the BEST IN THE LAND. (Isaiah 1:9) If we take the Word as the final authority & honor God by obeying His Word, then good success is inevitable.
Go back to the Very Source of every thing, our Very Life... The Word of God.
