Study to show thyself approved a workmen needed not to be a shamed rightly dividing the word of truth; 2 Timothy 2:15 said it best. 

Study to me is like meditation upon God’s Word.  I got a chance to talk to one of my pastors at church.  They told me how important it is to spend time in God’s word because it is what keeps your mind at peace; it is what protects you when life brings challenges.  When you plant God’s word in you, it will help you to respond to life in ways pleasing to God’s heart. 

 

 I began meditating on God’s word   (John 14) which says that 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.  14: Believes thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelled in me, he doeth the works.  Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.¹³ And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.  At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.   He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.  I write these few scriptures because they have helped me stay focus.  When I fear come upon I am reminded in John 14 to not me afraid, to not let my heart be troubled, and to defiantly keep God’s commandments.  God’s word is interesting because studying his word reminds you that when you study God’s word the Holy Spirit will bring things back to your remembrance. The Holy Spirit knows all things.  I have learned that when I study in general whether it is scriptural studying or, school studying God will bring things back to your remembrance.  Going back to speaking to my pastor at church, she reminded me that if I can’t spend thirty min with God, spend some time a least ten min.  Those ten min with God have been the best times of my life; those few moments in God’s word have changed my life.  My plan is to continue to study God’s word by meditating on a passage each day once a week.
