Joshua 1:8, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

Colossians 3:16, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.”

Romans 12:2, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

Why?

Romans 15:4, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.”

Colossians 1:9-10, “That you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.”

Therefore:

1 Peter 2:1-2, “Laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.”

How much time do I invest daily on studying and meditating on the Word, so as to grow in the knowledge of God?

André Gourd began sharing daily messages with his sons in 2019, which grew into daily scripture-based encouragements for all. Prompted by the Lord in 2020, he keeps each message short and to the point—never opinion, always pointing to God’s Word. Each ends with a one-sentence challenge to help readers stay focused on Christ. Find more at Christ at The Helm.
