MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL FOR 5 FEBRUARY

THE 5th OF FEBRUARY 

ENRICHED WITH GOD’S WORD 

“Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the Messiah) have its home [in your hearts and minds] and dwell in you in [all its] richness, as you teach and admonish and train one another in all insight and intelligence and wisdom [in spiritual things, and as you sing] psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making melody to God with [His] grace in your hearts.”  Colossians 3:16

To allow God’s Word to deeply influence every part of our lives, we must intentionally read, reflect on, and meditate on it. We should also seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit to understand how to apply its truths in our daily lives. As we journey with Christ, we experience different seasons—times of great passion for His Word and a longing to know Him more, when we eagerly use every opportunity to draw closer to Him. Yet, there are also moments when our enthusiasm wanes—whether due to challenges, hardships, or even times of success and ease.

When we recognize a diminished hunger for God’s Word, it’s vital to turn back to Him, asking for a renewed desire to be in His presence and to delve into His Word once more. Through Scripture, we discern His will for our lives. By cultivating a heart of gratitude and renewing our minds through His Word, not only will we experience greater joy, but we will also become a source of encouragement and help to those around us.

SUGGESTED PRAYER 

Dear Lord, please reignite my hunger for Your Word and deepen my desire to know You more. I know I cannot transform myself without Your help. Help me grow to be more like You by spending time in Your presence. Guide my thoughts and actions so I can hear Your voice, whether through the Holy Spirit or Your Word. Thank You, Father, for the gift of Scripture and the privilege of entering Your presence when I seek You with all my heart. Please rekindle my passion for You. Amen
