What you consistently put in your heart will determine whether you walk in victory or defeat. (Prov. 4:22) Staying continually in the Word liberates you from the bondage of the devil. (John 8:31-32) You fi ll your heart with the Word by listening to it and looking at it every day. (Prov. 4:20-21) As you feed on the Word and listen to God's voice, the fruit of the spirit fl ow out of you and overcome the law of sin and death. (Gal. 5:22-23) Time spent with God is never wasted, it always pays rich dividends. (Gal. 6:7-8) Don't ever make the mistake of thinking you're too busy to spend time in the Word of God. The truth is, you can't a ord not to spend time in it. Even if you've walked with the Lord for years, you can't a ord to rest on your spiritual laurels and just try to live on the Word you heard in the past. That's a dangerous way to operate! Put the Word of God fi rst place! WORDS OF FAITH WORDS OF FAITH W B V O V : 2 9 with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them: insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorifi ed the God of Israel. Every person who came to Jesus got the miracle they needed—and there were great multitudes of them. So, obviously, God likes to do miracles! He not only likes doing them because they reveal to people His glory, but He likes doing them because He is good. Psalm 31:19 says, "Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee.…" God actually has good things laid up for us! He doesn't wait until we need them to come up with them, He has them all prepared and stored up for us in advance. He's put our name on them, and they're ready for us to receive. That means if you need a miracle right now, God's got it for you. He's got your new eardrum, your new kidney, your new heart, your new liver, help for your family, your fi nancial miracle, or whatever else you might need. He's got every good thing you could ever desire laid up and waiting for you. Not by Works but by Faith In a commentary on Psalm 31:19, one Jewish Bible scholar wrote: "Goodness is that attribute of God whereby He loveth to communicate to all who can or will receive it all good. Himself who is the fullness of good, the Creator of all good, not in one way, not in one kind of goodness only, but absolutely without beginning, without limit, without measure…He possesses and embraces all excellence, all perfection, all blessedness, all good. This good His goodness bestows on all and each according to the capacity of each to receive it." In other words, God's goodness is unlimited.
