Being able to understand this and apply it in our lives is a life long maturing growth (being sanctified) in our knowledge and understanding of His Word and the leading of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Neglecting time in His Word stops all growth and maturing. How are we to honor and glorify Jesus Christ if we do not know what pleases God and what does not?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">It all comes down to an intentional choice to honor and glorify Jesus ever second from when we awake to when we sleep. If this is our desire above all else we will cherish time in His Word, study it, and apply it.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We will hunger and thirst for it. We will be sensitive to the Holy Spirit\u2019s leading. We will be aware of God\u2019s continual presence. We will grow and mature in our knowledge, understanding, and application of it in our lives.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">There is so much to distract us from living in the aware-presence of God. When our minds are being consumed by the mindless and meaningless is exactly what Satan wants. Satan wants to fill your life so full that God is all but forgotten throughout the day and he wants you to be satisfied like that.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">There are Christian radio stations that play heart felt music that worships and praises God. I think this is good but it does not and should not replace a single minute in God\u2019s Word. There are stations that have various ministries proclaiming God\u2019s Word. I think this is good and allows us to hear God\u2019s Word proclaimed and explained. There are those who proclaim it and teach it well and those that fluff around the edges of holiness. However, having your own time in God\u2019s Word will never be wasted. You will find that studying and reading God\u2019s Word each day will have some connection to what you will hear being proclaimed through radio ministries. I once told a friend of mine, \u2018it is good to hear what God is saying to and through these radio ministry pastors, however nothing is as good as having the Holy Spirit lead you into a new truth through your own time in His Word.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Deu 23:14\u00a0\u00a0Because the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and to give up your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy, so that he may not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you. \u00a0Genesis 17:1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0When Abram was ninety-nine years old the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/2024\/05\/03\/51-w-wilderness-16-b-3\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;51.w.
