What Do the Rules Say?

Daily Reading // Isaiah 8:11-22


READY // SILENCIO

Take a moment to quiet your mind and prepare your heart for your time with the Lord.


READ // LECTIO

Read the passage above up to three times aloud. Allow yourself to feel the words as they are read.


REFLECT // MEDITATIO

Now direct your focus on the words, phrases concepts or sentences that got your attention. What is God speaking to you today through His word?


Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.


Everything should be measured against the Word of God. Everything. When you’re playing a game, it makes no sense to make the rules up as you go along. Somebody needs to know the rules, or you need to have the rules handy to consult. When a question comes up, what do the rules say? The Bible is our rule book for life. It’s not just to judge ‘spiritual’ matters, but all matters. What do the rules say? How does this line up with scripture? That should always be the question. How often do I ask myself, “What does the Bible day about this”?


RESPOND // ORATIO

Pray in response to what the Lord has spoken to you.


Jesus, You are the Word made flesh. Speak to me. Help me to know Your Word for direction, peace, authority and confirmation. I want to grow in Your Word. Amen.
