Changed by the Bible “Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me Thy statutes.” - Psalm 119:12 Did you know you could read and even memorize the Bible, but if thats all that happens, it wont change your life? You are not changed by the words of the Bible but by the Holy Spirit of God, who takes the words and applies them to your heart. You see, youll never learn this book unless God teaches it to you. And it is not enough just simply to read it. You must come to God saying, Lord, I want to have a controlled, disciplined mind. I want You to teach me. David goes on to say in verse 2 of this Psalm, Open Thou my eyes that I may behold wondrous things from Thy law. You cannot separate the God of love from the God of the Word. Many read the Bible like a math book rather than a love story. They get the words, but they dont get the music. But youll never learn the Bible unless God teaches it to you. Not only must the Word of God get into you, but the Spirit of God must come into you. Make this your prayer today: Open Thou my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law. Teach me Your statutes. God, control my life. And Lord, as I get my heart cleansed, committed and conditioned, let my heart be controlled. Come, Holy Spirit, control my thoughts and guide me into Your truth. Adrian Rogers. LWF.ORG My question is, do I really want to be changed? What is it that we cling to?
