One of the things that we as Christians must always, always, always do is that we must always read the word of God every single day. By doing so we become familiar with what the word of God says, and when situations arise in our lives we can act accordingly in line with the word of God as the Holy Spirit brings to remembrance of that of what we have been told through the Word of God. That is why it's so important that as believers we study to show ourselves approved in the sight of God. We're going to face troubles, we're going to face hardships, we're going to face betrayals, individuals close to us are going to break our trust, they're going to verbally say things that are going to hurt us and a whole slew of other things. However, if we are in the word of God every single day to the point where it's saturates our minds and our hearts the Holy Spirit will bring to remembrance that what the word has said in context and in line with the situation that you're currently facing. And the importance of that is simply that you will begin to be molded into the man or woman of God that the Lord needs you to be. in Romans chapter 12 it tells us that we are supposed to give our bodies to the Lord as a reasonable sacrifice, in verse to it says do not be conformed to the ways of the world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. We do that through our daily reading of the Word of God because the more we read the word, the more we see how God has handled situations whether through the illustrations of the Old testament or the Holy Spirit in you giving you conviction about what it is you read in any aspect of the Bible. So it's vitally important that as a believer, if you're calling yourself a follower of Christ, it is vitally, vitally important to know what the Word of God says in any situation. An older gentleman once told me, "God said it, I believe it, that settles it."
He also told me that anytime I am faced with a situation his comment to me was put the word of God on it and find out what I'm to do so I encourage you brothers and sisters to when you're facing situations put the word of God on it. Meaning open your Bibles and get along with God in prayer and ask the Holy Spirit to open up your understanding of the word to help guide you on how yours to respond.
