Being grounded in the WORD

As we all have been told in one aspect or another, we must learn and know what needs to be done. This is not always the same for the next person. Learning is a long and arduous journey that does not always have the same outcome. But when it is with respect to our personal walk with our LORD, being grounded in the WORD is very important. What is it? Is it the same to everyone? The only person that it should matter to is the LORD HIMSELF. Our walk with the LORD is unique and defined explicitly through HIS esteem towards us. We are all told to love one another and to continue on in doing good works. We are given instructions about what the Christian walk is all about; but, we are to act upon it as well.

When we are faced with the trials and adversities in our daily lives, we are to continue to seek after what we are to do in our lives. This does mean that we must invest some effort to be reading, studying, asking, seeking and waiting upon the LORD. When we seek, it is not always what we want to hear, but it is what is needed and necessary to hear. Not everything is always bad or harsh but loving and gentle. Being grounded in the WORD allows us to be able to have a deeper understanding of others as well as ourselves and to develop our relationship with the LORD. The days to come then become easier and less stressful. Does this prevent the stress from coming? No, it simply encourages us that the stress is not going to overtake us and deter us from doing what we know we must do. Stress lets us know that we are still working for the right side--JESUS CHRIST.

How then are we to act? That is the best question of them all. The development of the Christian character is different for all of us; but, it is still one and the same. We are to follow the LORD and to know that we are to love one another as HE loved us. The rest is up to HIM to give us the direction that we ask for.

Grounded on. Encouraging on!
