"His Voice Today"
October 24
🔸️ We must dwell into the Bible scriptures! 🔸️
Jesus categorically said in John 8:31, "If you abide in my teaching, you are truly my disciples." We can stay permanently only in our own house! Those who live in a rented house will vacate their house from time to time!! Today, many people change their home from time to time for their own comfort..... that is, they do not 'abide' and not dwell conforming to the scriptural life!!
If some "charcoal" sticks to our face, someone should tell us! Or, we need to stand in front of a mirror and look at it!! As per James 1:23, it says, such a "good mirror, the word of God!" But, the tragedy is, everyone hears the word of God...but very few adhere to it and remove the "charcoal" on their face (verse 22). These are the ones who are "blessed in their deeds"! (Verse 25). Yes, they listened and they adhere to it! The others, however, listened; but not done accordingly!!
Do those who adopt it according to the verse mean "they are perfect"? No! Rather, the activity of following the verse is going on within them!! For example, Philippians 4:6 says, "Do not be anxious over anything". Does it mean, those who adopt this Verse, "living a life of anxiety-freed life?" No!
"Life without worries" is the life with a height of 5000 feet. Those who follow this, are now about 100-feet ahead. Have they reached 5000 feet? Not yet. But, they are progressing ‘actively’ towards it. In the true Christian life, there is no such stage of "stagnation"! The bicycle, which went upto 100-feet at the top of the mountain and if stoped there, immediately the bicycle would begin to descend. In the same way, the condition of those who do not live by abiding into the Verses are regressing!!
Prayer:
Dear Father! Just like staying in a home firmly, help us to abide in Your word; help us to grow in our spiritual life! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
