Why study and devote time to God's Word? To draw closer to Him, to hear His voice and discern His will, and to be transformed by His Holy Word!
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Romans 12:2
