Reading the Bible helps us better understand who God is and what God wants for our lives. But simply reading it isn’t a magic fix for our problems. We can’t just go to the Bible with a problem or struggle and expect what we’ve read to just suddenly help us. We have to apply God’s Word to our lives. We have to take in what we’ve read and actually do what it says. The more we actually practice what we’ve learned in the Bible, the more we’re putting our faith into action by doing what God calls us to do.

Talk to a friend, small group leader, or other trusted adult in your life today. Ask them to help you brainstorm some ways you can apply what you’re reading in Scripture this week to your own life.
