Why of Importance

   I want to exhort to you another reason why we should study the Word of God, and for this, I will use a football analogy for all of you sports fans. Say you are watching the SuperBowl and the New York Giants have the ball on their own 10 yard line. There is one minute left and they are down by 6 points.
   A touchdown and an extra point would win the game, so they decide to snap the ball. The quarterback takes the ball and looks down the field- vision. He already knew what routes the receivers were going to take and he looked in those areas for the open one. He found the receiver in which he had anticipated to catch the pass. They scored and won the SuperBowl.
   What does this have to do with the Word of God? Well among other things, it stresses the importance of vision. We must KNOW the Word so that we can see life through the Word and have the vision to carry out the Word of God!"Knowing to see what to carry", if you will. Read the Word, seeing life through the eyes of God, and carry out the vision of His Will!
