What is a part of you? Is it your personality, your family history, your financial status, your gifts and talents, or your place in society? These characteristics may all be true. However, did you know that these things will pass away? Jesus said in Matthew 24:35, “Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.” Jesus wants His word to be a part of you.

    God’s word will guide you. Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” So, let God’s word be your tour guide.

   The word of God is a part of me because it is powerful. In Hebrews 4:12, it reminds us, “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.” When the word of God is a part of you, you will allow it to perform surgery on you.

     God’s word is a part of me because I crave it. 1 Peter 2:2 says that we are to desire the sincere milk of the word. If God’s word is a part of me, then I have a longing to read it.

     As believers in Christ, nothing should be more important to us than God’s word. His word is available to each of us. All we must do is long for it. When we mediate on it, eat it, live it, and surrender to it, the word of God will be a part of us.
