You Can Be an Overcomer
“Your Word I have hidden in mine heart, that I might not sin against You”
Psalm 119:11

Ponder This
Your home is a good place for the Bible. Your hand is a better place. Your heart is an even better place. We must learn to hide God’s Word in our hearts. And in order for it to get in our hearts, we have to read it. We have to study over it.
How much time are you spending with the Word of God? Do you wonder why you can't live a pure life? Or live in victory? Why you cave in when temptation comes? Why you can't be an overcomer? How much time are you spending daily with the Word of God? Many spend far more time watching TV or on their phones than with the Word of God. And then they wonder why they fail. This is the book God has given to help you to live victoriously.
Many of you are just playing at Bible study. You never really get into it. You say, "Oh, the Bible is a wonderful book." What good is that going to do you? What good are the promises in God's Word unless you appropriate them into your life?
Practice This
Do you have a quiet time, a time when you get alone with God? Do you get up every morning and saturate your soul with the Word of God and bathe your soul in the presence of Jesus? Decide today that you will spend a few minutes every day reading the Word of God.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
