As a “constant”, “always”, “for sure”, “all we have”. The Word is what we have to be in as much as possible in and throughout our day. Some might feel that is difficult work. But without it, and without prayer, we are sure to be attacked. We must be aware of the deceiver, who is known to come from within a man. We must make sure of our thoughts with the Word. We must have the Word in our thoughts and our prayer or we become more blind and deaf to the sin in our day and as our day goes. By the time we get home to the Family, we are more bound to sin than we are to God and we all know what that leads to. Sin leads to death. Our children need the Truth and promises of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. If Christ conquered death and we believe in Him, then why would we come him in sin, which leads to death? It’s immediately seen. Either with anger, or with selfishness, or most of the time, pride. I don’t have to elaborate, all men do these things when sin has been ignored. I have such a great helper in my Wife who points these sins out to me, although they have already done the damage. The Helper is Jesus Christ. Without the Word and prayer for the Spirit, there is no way that I can make it through my day without sin, which leads to death.
Praise God Almighty for his mercy and grace. For the love that he gives us in his only Son, that we may be free from our sin and follow him in righteousness. Why and how could we ever forget this great gift? We are deceived by what is within. That is why we need the Word, the whole armor of God. He is the Way. The only Way.
