Let the Word Do the Work!

 Have you ever felt stuck in a rut with no way out of it? Been stuck in that same sin with no way out? Or maybe you've thought spiritual growth was out of your reach? You can work your hardest, try harder, do more and never see any kind of positive change. If you can relate to any of that, there's a powerful truth you need to hear: you can't change yourself. God has to work in your life for meaningful change to happen!

However, one thing you can do to see change in your life is to immerse yourself in His Word. Why is that? Hear what God has to say: "For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return there without saturating the earth and making it germinate and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat, so my word that comes from my mouth will not return to me empty, but it will accomplish what I please and will prosper in what I send it to do.” (Isaiah 55:10-11) .

If God's Word accomplishes exactly what He intends, part of that is us starting to look more like Him! Psalm 119 gives us the plan: "How can a [young] person stay pure? By obeying your word. I have tried hard to find you— don’t let me wander from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. I will delight in your decrees and not forget your word. I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways. I have rejoiced in your laws as much as in riches. I have recited aloud all the regulations you have given us. I praise you, O Lord ; teach me your decrees." (Psalms 119:9-16).

Want to see change this year? Let God's Word do the work! He is faithful and will bring the change if you show up to meet Him. Make it a priority this year- get in the Word every day and ask God to change you. There are lots of great one year type plans, but the Bible Recap is an amazing reading plan and is featured on our page.

No matter which plan you chose or what you do, get into God's Word. Read it through, pray it in, and live it out!
