Shalom beloved, God bless you for making time to join us for today's morning glory
0:27
devotion. My name is Sharon Assan from Harvest Chapel International Kumasi and I'm privileged to
0:35
be facilitating this episode. Let's kindly begin on the note of prayer. Dear Father, we thank you
0:44
for today, we thank you for another time in your word, prayer that you shed light on your word
0:50
and give us understanding in Jesus' name in men. Let's take our confession from Joshua
0:57
chapter 1 this 8. This book of the law shall not depart out of my mouth but I shall meditate in
1:08
its day and night as I may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then I will make
1:15
my way prosperous and then I will have good success in men. Today's devotion is titled
1:24
above the noise and our scripture reading will be taken from Deuteronomy chapter 6 from verse 4 to 8
1:33
and I read here O Israel the Lord our God the Lord is one you shall love the Lord your God with all
1:43
your heart with all your soul and with all your strength and these words which I command you to
1:50
day shall be in your heart you shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them
1:56
when you sit in your house when you walk by the way when you lie down and when you rise up you shall
2:04
bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes in men
2:11
above the noise we live in a noisy world from radios blasting news and hot tics for anyone who cares to
2:21
listen to social media littered with opinions under every post and every thought shared with unnecessary
2:30
conversations in the workplace and even in public transport you can't seem to escape the noise of
2:36
this world there's always something competing for your attention or trying to shape your thoughts
2:44
as believers we cannot afford to live by the opinions of this world we have just one set of
2:51
guiding principles which is the word of God both the logos the written word and the reamer the spoken
2:59
way keeping in mind that we live by the standards of God and not the standards of this world keeps us from
3:06
making certain compromises and pushes us to bear fruit in this perverse world he Bruce chapter 4
3:14
verse 12 tells us that the word of God is living and active never mind that it was written so many
3:20
years ago whatever is written in the word of God applies to us today and has the ability to transform
3:28
our lives when applied as God intends the word is also able to judge the thoughts and intentions of
3:36
the heart and then teach, rebuild and train us in righteousness when we live according to the
3:44
word of God we allow the Holy Spirit to influence us we knew our mind and shape our thoughts to become
3:52
like God's thoughts then day by day we begin to look more like Jesus the key to experiencing fully
4:01
the benefits of the word of God is apportion is with humility apportion the word with a teachable
4:09
and open heart will enable us to receive all that God wants us to receive commit to spending time
4:17
reading the word have your general and the highlighter with you as you study the word
4:23
more importantly come expectant expect God to speak to you and reveal himself through his word
4:31
when you do you will begin to experience your transformation
4:36
beloved as you go through your day and the rest of your week go with the consciousness that God
4:43
had you in mind when his word was being written and that everything you need has already been made
4:50
available to you so in the midst of all the noise choose his word amen let's take a
4:59
minute from Psalm 119 there's 103 and 105 house with your words taste to me they are sweeter than
5:09
honey your word is a lump to guide my feet in the light for my path amen we love it let's share
5:18
your word of prayer dear father we thank you for your word that has come to us today pray
5:25
that as we go throughout our day you will help us to make time for your word to remain in your
5:32
and to listen for your voice in Jesus name amen God bless you so much for being the part of
5:40
this morning's devotion pray that as you go throughout your day God speaks to you and that you
5:46
