The Word of God: Where does it belong?

The famous pastor-teacher, John MacArthur, wrote, "The Bible is not just a book you read for information. You read it for transformation." The Scripture are the very Word of God. "It is a perfect treasure that changes us, enlightens us, judges us, equips us, and makes us grow." These
happen when you meditate on it day and night.

Therefore it belongs in your mouth and in your hearts. Joshua says in 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 the you will have good success.

Jesus said," Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." If the heart is filled with the Word of God, then that's what is going come out of your mouth.

Meditate upon the Word of God. (Thanks to Dr. MacArthur)
