Your Words were Found

Jeremiah 15:16 (NKJV) - Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.

It’s a New Year and we’ve got several messages going forth about God’s mind for His people this year.

However one thing that will not change is His Word. 

1. I strongly believe that this year is one which we must choose, to live by God’s word. 
Matthew 4:4 (KJV) But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

2. We must purpose that this year our faith in Him would grow. 
Romans 10:17 (NKJV) - So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 

3. Through faith and patience, we inherit His promises.
Hebrews 6:12 - That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises

4. We choose to study and meditate on His word; His word becomes the source of our joy and rejoicing.

Joshua 1:8 (KJV) - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) - Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, I ask that you give me a fresh hunger and passion for your Word, grant me grace to be a student of the word this year and to apply the truths I learn daily. In Jesus Name. Amen
