Your Word

The Word of the Lord is alive. 
It is not a dead Word that lies flat on the pages before me meant for another time and place, but rather a living Word that speaks and moves even as I lay my eyes on it and becomes applicable for my very unique life.
When I have hidden this living Word inside of me, it rises up within me when I need it. 
Verses come to mind, encouragement and power are available to me even as I need them.
The Word hidden in my heart serves as a GPS and compass – it convicts me when I’m moving in the wrong direction and provides me the information I need to get back on track. 
The Word I have hidden in my heart knows me inside and out, even my very thoughts and intentions.  And so, daily I spend time in that Word, reading, contemplating, praying the Word, that it might be hidden in my heart. 
That I might walk uprightly, in power and victory, in the path the Lord has called me to.
