Click the save button

John 8:32 NKJV

If you use a computer, you know what the save button is. To save a created document, you just press the save button. Words on the screen descend into the core of the machine. As long as the words are limited to the screen, they are vulnerable to the irascible cursor. It earns its name. We curse the little monster as it gobbles up our hard work. But once we save it, it is safe.

Question: Are you clicking the save button on Scripture? You save truth when you deliberately allow what you've read or heard to become part of who you are. Jesus said, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." As you know (save) truth, the truth frees you from guilt, fear, pride, anger, etc. Saved truth has a shaping, reconfiguring impact on your heart. Only when you allow the truth of Scripture to be the authority in your life will you prove that it works. How do you do this?

Begin with a prayer: "God, please speak to my heart today as I read Your Word." Then with an open heart, read until a message hits you, and you will receive great rewards. God told Joshua if he did this, He would make his way "prosperous" (see Joshua 1:8). The promise of prosperity includes finances, but it also refers to a wealthy spirit, mind, and body.

God prospers a leader with new skills, a worker with good sleep, a teacher with added patience, a mother with deeper affection, and an elderly person with greater hope. So click the save button!
