Desire God

Proverbs 8:11 - For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

Do you spend most of your time preparing and taking care of things other than the word of God?

If so, keep reading to learn why you should increase the time you spend getting the word of God and decrease the time you spend caring for other things.

What do you want out of life?

You probably want to be happy. Am I right?

So it's likely that you're pursuing the opportunities, things and people that'll bring some type of joy to your life.

So now let me ask you, do you let your needs and wants distract you from getting the word of God?

The problem with this is not the pursuit of happiness itself, but with the perverseness of pursuing things ahead of pursuing the creator and supplier of all things.

Matthew 6:33 - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

THE PROBLEM

Spending too much time talking, thinking, learning and looking at anything other than the word of God.

And failing to get enough of His word to offset the desires that are created by doing this.

Proverbs 18:1 - Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.

God supplies all your needs whether you pursue Him or not, (Matthew 6:30) but He also allows you to have insufficiencies.

This is part of His awesome plan of grace.

Just think, if He made you perfect, you wouldn't need Him and would probably ignore His word even more than you already do with the sufficiency's He does give you.

THE SOLUTION

Psalms 37:4 - Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

The Bible says it plain as day that He'll give you all the missing stuff that you want and need if you praise and obey Him, and He'll do it without the added hardship that pursuing things adds to your life.

And this includes the things money can't even buy.

But are you getting enough of His word to get revelation knowledge from the Holy Spirit about who you really are and what heaven is really like? 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.

Most people only think in terms of flesh, five senses and success on earth in this physical body.

But God has already given you everything that you need in your spirit.

And you can only accept it by faith in His word.

But this requires effort and perseverance on your part to remain in the word of God long enough to see the results.

Psalms 1:1-2 - Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

You have to get the word to believe God more than you believe what you can see, hear, touch, taste and smell.

That's it.

There's no loopholes.

There's only one way out and one way in.

You’re either not getting enough of the word of God or you are, and you're reaping the benefits.

Either God is number one in your life, or He's not.

And I'm sure you know about the power of prayer, but the Bible says even your prayers won't work without getting the word of God. (Proverbs 28:9).

God's grace has already overcome all sins through the Lord Jesus Christ, the only sin you need to overcome now is the sin of not believing His word.

And like I said before, you can't believe His word if you don't get enough of His word.

So now ask yourself, are you so focused on your own desires that it's preventing you from getting the word of God?

And if so, what will it take for you to give more effort to receive His word?

Don't know?

Well the Bible says the most effective ways to make yourself do it is by, meditating on the word of God every day, also, teaching yourself to speak the word of God out loud, and by, being around the people who do the same.

Proverbs 18:15 - The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

Proverbs 16:23 - The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

Proverbs 13:20 - He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

You can make yourself believe and do just about anything by simply repeating it over and over to yourself in your mind, out loud and by including it in most of your conversations.

Of course, this is not a one day event, but if you keep saying and thinking that you read the Bible everyday then you will.

Plus, if you spend more time with people who already read the Bible and talk about it, then you will succeed.

But keep in mind for this to work you have to use more words talking about reading the Bible, than words that promote doing something else.

Just keep thinking and saying "I love the word of God, I read the Bible everyday".

And you're not always going to feel like saying it, but keep saying it anyway.

Likewise, if you spend more time around the people that's actually doing it, than the people who pay the word of God no mind, you're more likely to win.

You can't hang around criminals and still expect this to work.

I should also point out the whole key to this strategy is to make yourself believe you enjoy doing it, so you will do it, then you will enjoy doing it.

The power to make yourself do it is already inside of you.

But you must take action against the things that take your attention, the words that you say, and the people who distract you from getting it done.
