Living by the Word

As the day winds down, take a moment to reflect: Did you apply God’s Word today? This morning, we talked about knowing Scripture for every area of life. But knowledge alone isn’t enough—it’s the application of God’s Word that transforms us.

James 1:22 reminds us that if we only listen to the Word but don’t act on it, we deceive ourselves. It’s like looking in a mirror, seeing something that needs fixing, and walking away without making any changes (James 1:23-24). God doesn’t just want us to know Scripture—He wants us to live it out in our daily decisions, relationships, and struggles.

Think about today. Did you face a difficult situation? A moment of frustration? A choice between right and wrong? How did you respond? Were you able to recall a verse to guide you, or did emotions take over?

Applying Scripture isn’t always easy, but the more we practice, the more it shapes our hearts. When we choose patience over anger, forgiveness over bitterness, or trust over worry—we are living out God’s truth.

Before you rest tonight, ask yourself:

• Did I respond to challenges today in a way that honored God’s Word?
• How can I better live out Scripture tomorrow?

What is one verse you can meditate on tonight to help you apply God’s Word tomorrow?

Sleep in His peace, and wake up ready to walk in His truth!
