You might have come across certain people who,
though have been Christians for long, yet are not
grounded and settled in the truth. They still ask the same
questions they’ve been asking for years. Even after showing
them answers from the Scriptures, they return with the same
questions after some time. You may even think they’re
honestly seeking answers, but such attitude is the
manifestation of their disquieted, roaming, and unsettled
spirit. They’re tormented with worry, having difficulty
accepting simple realities. How sad!
As a Christian, you need to be deeply rooted and
grounded in the faith, and that happens when you give quality
time and attention to God’s Word. Your personal study of,
and meditation on the Word of God should remain
paramount in your heart and on your mind. Don’t assume you
already know enough of God’s Word, because you attend
church every Sunday. You need to search the scriptures
personally for yourself.
Read our opening verse again and observe those the
Spirit praised; they were those who after receiving the Word,
went back daily to search the Scriptures, to ascertain the
veracity of what they’d been taught. They confirmed the
Word for themselves and as a result, they couldn’t be
deceived. They became settled and grounded on the truth of
Grounded And Settled In The
Truth
God’s Word that they’d been taught.
It’s for the same reason that Paul, by the Spirit,
admonished the saints in Colosse, saying, “…continue in the
faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the
hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was
preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I
Paul am made a minister” (Colossians 1:23). That’s a message
from the Spirit to you today: get grounded and settled! Give
yourself wholly to God’s Word (1 Timothy 4:15).
Walk in the light of the things you’ve been taught, and
have received; take a hold of them with your spirit. Then,
the Holy Spirit will fill your heart and mind with thoughts of
faith that’ll energize your spirit, such that you’ll always be
victorious and unshakable.
PRAYER
Dear Father, as I study and
meditate on your Word, I receive
the impartation of faith, and your
wisdom propels me to act
accordingly; your Word prevails
in my life and circumstances. I’m
built strong, and established
firmly in the faith, as I walk in
the light of your Word, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
