Read The Book! Don't Wait For The Movie (pt. 1)

This past Sunday we studied portions of Psalm 119 as we considered Scripture, one of our Core Values at Christ's Church. Let's continue the conversation.

We noted in Psalm 119:105 that the Word of God has both general and specific application; broad and narrow focus; and the fact that God's Word is light in both a positional and practical sense.

Of that last observation, positional and practical truth, we noted that while it is positionally true that God's Word is light, it is of no illuminating value if we choose to ignore it - or, in other words, if we don't practically apprehend it. I'd like to talk a bit about the 'how'.

How do you intersect with God's Word? What plan seems to work for you? A few verses a day? A chapter? Set reading times? Listening in the car? A devotional that speaks to you? Are you in a small group? There is no 'one size fits all' approach. I invite you to share what has worked for you and what has not worked for you. So, chime in with a comment. How are you going about making that positional truth (God's Word is light) become practical in your life?
