I am reminded of the deep and throbbing need the soul has for the Word of God. Whenever we fail to give ourselves to the study of God's Word our spirit immediately seeks for wisdom in worldly sources.
Like a child whose ignorance drives his curiosity forward to explore and gather knowlege to improve his perception on life so our souls crave the nourishing need for wisdom. However - just as a child whose impressionable nature may gather insite from unreliable sources and perverted values, so our souls are prone to such corruption.
When we are exposed to the Word of God we find the ultimate trustworthy source of wisdom to help shape our understanding and disciplines according to Truth. As the psalmist says in Psalm 119:11 God's Word is to be hidden in our heart through regular habits of reading, application, teaching and meditation, so we might not sin against God.
When our spirit wanes from the convictions of Truth and we are caught up in the anxieties of life and find ourselves wrestling with our sins it is because we are not giving ourselves to the wisdom of God through the reading and application of His Holy Scriptures. It is through the Word that we primarily come into our knowlege and relationship with the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us (Jesus Christ- John 1:1). Give yourself to the Word and find your spirit made wholly alive in the power of God!
