| We make a great mistake when we fail to obey what the Word of God tells us to do. Don’t get the idea that hearing is the same as doing. It certainly is not. We need to not only read it, but do it! It is vital that we examine our own hearts and lives in the light of God’s Word. This requires time, attention, and sincere devotion. We can’t do it with just a quick scan of a verse or two now and then. Five minutes with God each day will never accomplish a proper spiritual scrutiny. I am thankful for doctors who have cared for me through the years, and I owe a great deal to some of them, especially the ones that have spent time with me and have not been in a hurry. I have also valued the ones that have always told the truth. The Lord uses His Word to search our heart and conscience. Give Him that opportunity and it will be for your spiritual growth. Then, just as we take the advice of the doctor, so we need to “take heed … unto the doctrine” (1 Timothy 4:16). |
