Day 2 – God’s Word 

While we speak to God in prayer, He often speaks to us through His Word. In fact, God communicates through the Bible most commonly at this time. The Bible is called “God’s Word” for a reason—it is the primary way God speaks to us. It is also the way we learn about God’s character and His dealings with people throughout history. 

All Scripture is “breathed out by God” and is the guide for a righteous life.  Every thought, desire, inclination, or urge we may have should be brought to the Word of God for comparison and approval. Let the Bible be the judge of every thought. “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart”.  No matter how urgent the issue, if it goes against what Scripture says, then it is not of God and must be rejected. God will never contradict himself and lead us contrary to what He has taught in His Word.
