What:
... It sustains us in our relationship with God.
- "Sustain" means to maintain; to keep, support or nourish. The Bible is like our vitamins! The Bible is also like water for those who get tired from walking. It's similar in our walk with God!
1. Read the word daily
How did you develop the discipline and devotion for God's word?
- Personally, reading was easy because I liked to read. The discipline for daily devotion began when I have started to receive a seed which was planted within me. I was eager to know more about Christ! What fueled me to keep doing it despite life's difficult circumstances was my gratitude towards my salvation. Also, God has been faithful in my life and so I wanted to be faithful to him as well.
2. Receive nourishment from the word
What is nourishment? Why is it important?
- To nourish is to feed; to support; to foster; to educate. The word of God is not just our spiritual food, but also it is our source of wisdom - we learn from it.
3. Know Jesus through the word
What is one thing you've learned about Jesus through the Bible? How has this helped you grow in your relationship with him?
- I've learned many things about Jesus in the Bible. But the one that struck me the most is that even before everything, He was already there. In the beginning there's God's word, and He himself is the word. This helped me grow in my relationship with him because I know that Jesus is God. He is powerful beyond human understanding. He is sovereign and omnipresent. This means that He's always with me in my life.
God is composed of three O's:
- Omnipotent - having unlimited power
- Omnipresent - state or quality of being everywhere present
- Omniscient - knowing all things
note that omni is a prefix meaning "all"
