God Has Already Given The Gift Of His Word......The Question Is....Are You Using It or Is It Stored Away?

What is it that you really want from God?   Do you want His light....His life.....or just His provision?  God is looking to give you all of Him.   All of who He is.   All of what He stands for.   Yet we try to pick and choose what we want to receive from Him.   

Reception.    Do you really know what reception is?   Reception is the process of receiving something that has been sent or given.   God has given us a gift.   Have you received the gift that God has given?   At Christmas and on our birthdays we give and get "gifts".   Many gifts that cover a wide variety of things.    God gave us one gift....that covers all things.    His gift covers our healing, our provision, our joy, and our peace.   

Have you ever gotten a gift for your birthday or for Christmas and it just sat in the box for months or even years and one day you run across it and decide to take it out and use it?  That's how we do the gift of God's word.   We fail to utilize His word in our situations and in our circumstances.   Not only did He give us His word....but He gave us the manifestation of His word through His Son.    Although we know that everything must come under subjection to the word of God....we fail to utilize it.    Instead we sit back and we pray "hard".    Trying to figure out what to do or how to do it.   When all we have to do is apply the word to the situation and the circumstance.   

A lot of times we don't use our gifts that we are given because we don't want to take the time to pull out the manual in order to read the instructions.  That's how we are with God and the things of God.   We don't want to take the time to read His word.      We don't want to take the time to pray and seek His face in order to get direction.   The Bible is our instruction manual.   It tells us the who, what, when, where, and why's in life.    It gives us direction and comprehension.   Comprehension is the capability of understanding.   God's word is designed to help us to understand life.   God's word is the comprehension that is necessary in order for us to understand the life that we are living.   Without it....we can never fully understand who we are and whose we are.   

It's time that we go back to the first gift.   The gift that was established before the world was.   The gift of God's word ..... that was manifested in His son.    The gift that covers every need and every situation in life.   Instead of searching and seeking new ways and new gifts....we need to utilize what has already been given.
