STORING WITHIN THAT WHICH MATTERS MOST

Storing within ourselves that which matters most can happen only when we take the time to read, to study, to go over and through the material available to us to read and to mull over.    Psalm 1 tells us that the Righteous person is one who delights in the Law (the Torah) of the LORD and who takes pleasure in doing what it calls him / her to do.

I encourage you, find yourself digging into the bookshelves of your computer, and search out text that will make a difference in your life.

Jesus told us that the person who does the will of God is His mother, brother and sister.    "Whoever does the will of God is my mother, my brother and my sister." he stated in Matthew 12. verses 45 - 49.   Mary knew who the Son was.   The Angel had told her that THIS ONE would be the Promised One.   Here Jesus shows that His purpose in coming was to make us members of His Family - for He tells the disciples again and again that He would suffer and die and be buried and be risen again on the third day, yet in listening to Him speak of His coming suffering and death that is ALL they remembered - they focused on the sadness of losing Him - yet He told them I am going to rise on the third day.    Come to me, and I will not send you away, Jesus told His listeners.   Again He said, "Come follow me, and you will find rest for your souls"  "If anyone follows Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and come follow me."  Jesus told the people "I am the bread of life."  Again He said, "I am the Light of the world"  Another time He stated "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father, but by me."  John 14. v. 6  
 
Dig into God's Word.   Use a dictionary if you have one for words you do not know.  Look up on a Bible map where a town is mentioned.   On the Internet you can find MAPS for any HISTORICAL
PLACE.   There are Bible Atlas, Dictionaries and Concordances and Bible Maps on line as well to help a new student in finding out what and where and how and who and when of events that happened in Jesus' life, and the joy of discovering more about His Word will lighten the Path before you.  
     A student always willing to learn knows that there are many books from which to learn.  However there is only ONE BOOK THAT GOD HIMSELF THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT has given us and that is THE HOLY BIBLE.    Let us read.    Let us study.   Let us go on to KNOW THE LORD, to receive HIM INTO MY LIFE, and to WALK IN HIS WAYS.
