BUILD YOURSELF WITH THE WORD
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he..(Proverbs 23:7).
Take a moment to think about the kind of person you are, the thoughts you think, the way you act and respond. If someone else were exactly like you and given to you as a friend, would you like that person? Some might say yes; others might hesitate. But whether yes or no, the point1 is clear: you’re what you have made yourself to be.
Every thought going through your mind right now is a reflection of what you have become. Over the years,what you have consistently listened to, read, and watched has steadily moulded your thinking, your values, and ultimately, who you have become. You reason the way you do because of what you have made out of yourself.You’re your own handiwork.
The Scripture shows that life is from within. Who you are outwardly is only the expression of who you’ve become inwardly. That’s why God gives us His Word, to reshape our minds and fill our spirits with divine thoughts. When you fill your heart with God’s Word, you’ll unveil His glory,wisdom and excellence.
That’s why the Bible says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord” (Colossians 3:16). Then Acts 20:32 says,” And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified ”
PRAYER

Romans 12:2 (KJV)
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
James 1:22–25 (KJV)
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
