THINGS HAPPEN
Luke 11:1-13
When we know Jesus we are perfectly confident that he hears us. He is so eager to have us come, with our hearts pure and our prayers insistent against the opposition of the evil one. And Jesus has never yet failed anyone who has asked out of an obedient life and an insistence against the power of the evil one. When we forgive even as we desire forgiveness, and expect because of Jesus’ blood, things happen.

DISBELIEF DOESN’T ALTER FACTS
Matthew 7:24-27
Truth is not affected by whether one believes it or not. God tells us in his Word what is right. He tells us the consequences of obedience and also of disobedience. The decision always lies in one’s own power of choice. Most of us hear; fewer of us seem to do the thing we know. Why is it? Is it because the evil one opposes anyone who hears God’s Word? Let’s strive to do all we know.

TASTE AND SEE
Psalms 119:97-105
God’s Word tells the power there is in it for whoever will. And whoever will let it change the life, and meet the need of the life, will love it. A thing is dear to us in proportion to our appreciation of its worth. He who knows the power of God’s Word in the personal life when the way is difficult, loves it. We don’t know whether a thing is sweet till we taste it, nor whether it is lovable till we test it.

THE PROOF OF THE BOOK
Psalms 119:9-16
We do forget, unless we have the same reasons for remembering that the psalmist speaks of before his last sentence. Let’s read this portion over again with that in mind. He must have found out the truth of God’s Word by living it, for he says he will delight himself in God’s rules for his life. We don’t forget the things we take delight in. The proof of the Book is the delight of it.

EAT THE BOOK
Psalms 19:7-14
David says wonderful things about God’s Word. We believe it. But believing isn’t enough. We all believe that food builds up the body. But if we stopped there, we’d be weak and emaciated. Food must both be taken in and lived out in action. Then it does its work in the body. If we take in the Word and live it out, it will refresh us, throw light on the path, give wisdom and strength, and lead to victory.
