Practice Makes Perfect

Practice Makes Perfect

Make me understand the way of Your precepts; so shall I meditate on and talk of Your wondrous works.
- Psalm 119:27
Mark 4:24 says the amount of time you give to the Word will determine the amount of knowledge and virtue that comes back to you. As humans, we can be rather lazy, and many people want to get something for nothing (with no effort on their part); however, according to this Scripture, that is not the way it works.
If you want to do what the Word of God says and tap into the full power available to you, you will have to spend time reading the Word, meditating on it, pondering and contemplating it, talking about it, and rehearsing and practicing it in your thinking.
Remember the old saying "Practice makes perfect"? We don't expect to be experts at other things in life without a lot of study, so why would we expect living the Christian life to be any different?
Power Thought: I study the Word of God so I can learn God's ways.
