Good morning! As you start this day, let me ask you: How well do you know God’s Word? If someone asked you for biblical wisdom on finances, relationships, or even handling stress, could you point them to Scripture?

The Bible is not just a book of history or theology; it’s God’s blueprint for every part of our lives. Psalm 119:105 reminds us that God’s Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. That means Scripture is meant to guide us in every situation, whether we’re making big decisions or simply navigating the challenges of daily life.

Think about Jesus when He was tempted in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). He didn’t fight the enemy with opinions or feelings—He responded with Scripture. Every time Satan tried to deceive Him, Jesus said, “It is written.” He knew the Word, and He applied it to His situation. That’s the kind of relationship we need to have with the Bible.

So how do we make Scripture our foundation in all areas of life?

1. Daily Reading – Just like we eat food daily to nourish our bodies, we need to feed our spirits with the Word. Even if it’s one chapter or a few verses, make time for it.
2. Memorization – When we store God’s Word in our hearts, we can recall it in moments of need. Maybe it’s a verse on peace when anxiety creeps in, or wisdom on patience when dealing with a difficult situation.
3. Application – James 1:22 tells us to “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” God’s Word only transforms us when we put it into action.

Today, let’s commit to knowing Scripture not just for knowledge but for living. Let’s be people who say, “It is written,” when challenges arise, using God’s truth as our guide.

What’s one area of your life where you need to apply Scripture more intentionally today?
