"O let me not wander from thy commandments." Psalm 119:10b

When I talk about staying close to God's Word, I don't mean just reading it out of habit. You can read it every day and be miles away from God. I am talking about reading it to get to know God better and to spend time with Him.
Why is God's Word so important?
God's Word is like...
...a mirror--that shows us what we are really like and what needs changing in our lives.
...a map-- that gives directions
...food-- that gives us strength spiritually and satisfies us.
...a light-- that shows us what's right and wrong.
...a sword--that we can use as a weapon against Satan.

I heard a man preaching who had met with some Christian men who had all done wrong things. The preacher said to them, "I don't even need to ask what went wrong. You neglected time with God and that's why you are here today."
Make it your prayer, "O let me not wander from thy commandments."
