Some years ago, the respected Christian leader D. J. De Pree of Zeeland, Michigan, addressed the annual Gideon convention in Washington, D.C. In his message he pointed out the top ten spiritual activities we must fully engage in order to fully realize the revitalizing power of the Word of God. They are: Read it (1 Timothy 4:13); Eat it—that is, take it into our very being (Job 23:12; Jeremiah 15:16); Bathe in it for spiritual cleansing (John 15:3); Look into it as a mirror to see our true self (James 1:23-25); Meditate on it (Psalm 1:2; 1 Timothy 4:15); Memorize it (Deuteronomy 11:18; Psalm 119:11); Study it (2 Timothy 2:15; Hebrews 5:12-14); Teach it to others (Deuteronomy 11:19; Colossians 3:16); Talk about it (Joshua 1:8); Sow its seeds of truth in the field of the world (Matthew 13:3-9; Luke 8:11). Are you taking the Word of God to heart? Are you passing its joy on to the children in your life? Today in prayer thank Christ for His Word. Remember that the final resting place for the Word of God is not the head but the heart. The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible.—D. L. Moody Peter Kennedy, From Generation to Generation, (Austin, TX: WORDsearch Corp., 2010), WORDsearch CROSS e-book, Under: Day 304. Taking the Word to Heart.
