1 Corinthians 9:27 (KJV) But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
Psalms 119:11 (KJV) Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Without the word of God in us, we cannot be successful in controlling the body. There is spiritual strength in the word, hence the more we read,study and meditate, the stronger we become. We cannot sustain our spiritual strength based on only prayer; we shall fail at a point if we do so. There is a dimension of our strength that can only be attained and maintained through the daily exercises in the word. So in essence, we must not downplay the importance of prayer, simply because we have a lot of the word in us; just as we do not eat only carbohydrates or proteins for a healthy body, but a balanced diet; so must we combine all the available spiritual diet for effective growth. We need to develop a strong desire for God's word. To be continued.

May we desire to grow in the knowledge of the word. Have a blessed Saturday.

*Prayer:* Please teach me your word, as I desire to daily make time for it.
