Do you want to be safe from the influence, ways, and lusts of the world and the flesh (I John 2:16)? From the sins which so easily entangles us (Hebrews 12:1)? Then delight in yourself in the Lord, in His provision, in His Word. Faithfully feed on the things that possess true substance and real meaning. When you remember that "all Scripture is given by inspiration by God and is profitable" (2 Timothy 3:16) and partake of such divine substance, then you are fed, you are led and you are safe! . Elizabeth George
About This Quote

The Bible says that the word of God is "profitable," and that hungering and thirsting after God's Word will result in life-giving nourishment. Paul has already given us a few examples of this in his letter to Timothy: "For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come" (2 Tim. 2:19). When we feed on God's word, we take in life-giving nourishment. We are safe from the influence, ways, and lusts of the world and the flesh!
