Would you like to read the Word daily, but don’t know how to begin? Reading our Daily Devotionals is a good way to develop the habit of studying the scriptures.

“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ” (Colossians 3:23, 24, NKJV).
As believers, we must remember that whatever line of work God calls us to is our way of serving Him. He provides the talent, the ability, and the motivation to get the job done. To others, work is simply a job, but we can accomplish the task He sets before us with joy.

“The thoughts of the wicked are shamefully vile and exceedingly offensive to the Lord, but the words of the pure are pleasing words to Him… The mind of the [uncompromisingly] righteous studies how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things” (Proverbs 15:26, 28, AMPC).
God has blessed us with intellect as well as speech, and we can use these gifts to either bless or curse ourselves and others. Studying the Scriptures, we see that there’s a clear connection between what we think and what we say. If we think something long enough, we’ll speak that thought.

“But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches” (1 Corinthians 7:17).
God gives each one of us special gifts and talents, and we’re to use them to serve His kingdom. When He calls us into service, we’ll feel that calling in our hearts. Using our talents and abilities the way He intends bring us success.

“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who heeds counsel is wise” (Proverbs 12:15, NKJV).
People who make their own decisions according to what they feel at the time will stumble through life making a series of bad choices. Conversely, those who seek godly counsel from others before making a decision are considered wise in God’s eyes.

“He who earnestly seeks good finds favor, but trouble will come to him who seeks evil” (Proverbs 11:27, NKJV).
God favors wise individuals who deliberately apply the principles of His Word to their lives, but not everyone has godly wisdom in this area. People who reject His instructions in favor of the world’s prevailing sentiment at the moment create their own problems in life.

“Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand” (Daniel 12:3, 10, NIV).
In the end times, the core of believers who continue to obey God’s Word will shine brightly in a spiritually dark world like a thousand-watt spotlight on a hill, and those who lead others to Christ will be blessed. God’s children will understand the wisdom contained in the Word, but the Scriptures won’t make sense to many others.
