VERSE:
   He [Jesus] replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word
of God and obey it."
    -- Luke 11:28
   

THOUGHT:
   God gave us his word to bless us. When we obey what he asks of
us, we get to walk in that blessing. On the other hand, as Jesus
reminded us at the end of the Sermon on the Mount, when we know the
will of God and don't obey it, we are foolish. I don't know about
you, but I prefer to receive a blessing! Thank God for speaking to
us through his word -- the Scriptures -- so we can know his will
and walk in his blessing and for speaking to us through his living
Word -- his Son -- so we can know his heart as we apply his will to
our lives.

PRAYER:
   Thank you, Father, for revealing your will to me through the
Scriptures. Thank you for wanting to bless me and protect me from
evil. Please forgive me for the times in the past that I have
ignored your will or neglected being obedient to it. Today, I
commit to live intentionally in your will and to live obediently to
your word. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
