Week 9 Devo – MONDAY
The book of Revelation is ultimately a message from Jesus Christ. The apostle John was merely His messenger. And so it is with all of Scripture: When you read the Bible, God is speaking to you. His purpose is to reveal Himself and His plan. The question is not whether God is speaking to you – He is. The question is whether you are reading, hearing, and obeying.
Don’t take your access to the Scriptures for granted. It is a blessing to read His words. Don’t take the teaching you receive through your pastors and teachers each week for granted, either. It is also a blessing to hear His words. The greatest blessing, however, comes from keeping His Word. Jesus began the Sermon on the Mount with a series of blessings, and He concluded with this: “Everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock” (Matthew 7:24). Building your life on God’s Word is the blessed life.
What has God’s Word taught you that you still need to obey?
