John 17 – The Listening Plan

Devotional

“Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

– John 17:17

The Scriptures are living and powerful. They are shaper than any two-edged sword. They cut deep and reveal the true thoughts, desires and intents of our hearts. They are useful for revealing what is true (i.e. doctrine), for rebuking what is out of order, for correcting what is misaligned and for guiding us through the true and right way. His word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. By it we are warned, enlighten, made wise and satisfied. Through them we are transformed and sanctified.

When meditating upon these truths, I cannot think of any better use of my time than to hide God’s word in my heart and mind.
