Personalizing the Word of God

For believers in Christ, leading a witnessing and fruitful life, springing from personalizing the Word of God as found in the Holy Bible, is a very important daily spiritual exercise. Few days ago, I happened to read a devotional written by a well known Bible teacher, Andrew Wommack, USA,  that was used by  the Holy Spirit of God to drive home this 'life point' to me. The inspiration to write this blog post  initiated there and my personal devotion times led me to newer lessons which I am sharing here.

Whenever we read the Bible, or listen to a message preached or a Bible lesson taught, many a times there are verses that make a deep impression on us at that particular moment. The light to guide us comes from there, for specific tasks to be dealt with that day or later. It may be a routine task or a peculiar one. It may be trivial or of utmost importance to us. It differs day to day and from person to person.  The Bible breathed by the Spirit of God is 'living and active' even to this day and will remain like that forever.  Hence it will be good for every one of us to personalize the WORD every time it comes to us.
