WORDS: What's in your head?

It was amazing to see all the secular music these kids can sing out from memory.  Just give them a few lines, the beat and off they go.  But what about God's Word? Is that buried in their head as well?  Sure, but you may have to dig a bit.

We talked about how God's word does 3 main things:

1. Gives Power - Having God's word in our hearts and mind can give us confidence, comfort and strength in our daily life, especially when we run in to difficult times. (Hebrews 4:12)
2. Gives Healing - physical, but often spiritual healing comes from the Word
3. Guides us- Everyday we can be guided in good decision if we let God guide us. A great verse to memorize is this: Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and  a light for my path. 

But first we must read the Word.  Don't make excuses, do it daily, do it for understanding.

1. Find a version of the bible that makes sense.  ESV and NLT are a good place to start
2. Ask questions. Dig deeper or ask people who know the bible...dig until you understand it.
3. Use resources.  Use bible websites to help guide you in reading and understanding. Or they can give you daily verses, or even a plan for reading each day.

Whatever you do- get that WORD in your head. It will help you for the rest of your life.

"This little light of mine" a childhood favorite.

"Trading My Sorrows", a whole group favorite.
