Summary This message explores what it truly means to be devoted to God’s Word—not as a chore, a duty, or a spiritual checkbox, but as an overflow of intimacy with the Father. Scripture becomes alive, exciting, and transformative when it flows from a heart fully devoted to Jesus. True devotion to God’s word begins with a true devotion to the Author of the Word. He never intended for us to read the Bible so that we can possess more knowledge. He intended for us to read it so we would know Him better. Devotion to the Word begins in the secret place—where hunger is stirred, conviction is welcomed, and the Word becomes an encounter with the living Christ. Takeaways * Devotion to Scripture begins with devotion to God Himself. * Reading the Bible is meant to be relational, not mechanical. * The secret place must become the most sacred place. * The Word of God gives life. * The Word of God builds faith. * The Word of God bears fruit * Jesus is the Word. Encountering Scripture is encountering Christ Himself.
