Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from
the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her,
and she shall keep thee.
Proverbs 4:5-6
Recently, God has been raising up ever-growing numbers of people
who are hungry. Hungry to know their Lord in a deeper way. Hungry to serve
Him—in pulpits, on mission fields, in homes, in office buildings and
anywhere else He might choose to send them.
They are people who simply aren't content to find the path of
least resistance and coast their way into heaven. No, they're determined to run
the race...to run, as the apostle Paul said, to obtain the prize. Spiritually
speaking, they are on the road to excellence.
Are you among them?
If so, I want to share four simple words that, I believe, will
enable you to run the race like a winner.
Put the Word first.
Whether your goal is to be an excellent evangelist or a
first-rate engineer in the service of the Lord, it is the wisdom that comes
from the Word of God that will get you there.
Jesus said it this way: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you"
(Matthew 6:33).
So commit yourself right now to do whatever it takes to totally
saturate yourself with the Word of God. Use every available moment to read,
study, listen to and meditate on it.
I know it won't be easy, but if you've made a definite decision
to amount to something in the ministry of Jesus Christ and you are determined
to take the Great Commission seriously, then be diligent. Put the Word first
and there will surely be glorious victories ahead.
