A Reflection On God’s Word

When I need to be anchored in Scripture

In a world of shifting loyalties, devious cons, and ever-evolving ideas, we need to know where to anchor our souls. Only God can point us in the right direction. We need to be anchored in revelation. How do we do that?

A daily time in God’s Word is a good first step. It works truth into our minds on a regular basis. But is that really enough to protect us against error?

Here’s a good pattern to follow: First, ask God every day to convince your heart of His truth and to give you discernment. Second, find at least one verse a week to memorize. Chew on it, let it sink in, look at it from every angle, and come up with specific ways to apply it. Third, don’t just study God’s Word. Fall in love with it. God has a way of working into our hearts the things that we love. According to Colossians 3:16, we are to let the Word of Christ richly dwell within us. Let it richly dwell in you this week.

Every word of God proves true. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.

Proverbs 30:5
