So What? by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 12/28/11

Published December 28, 2011 | By womenofchristianity

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: I know a pastor who begins a message by reading a text of Scripture. Then he explains clearly what it says and what it means. Then he says, “That’s the what. Now the question is, ‘So what?’” This pastor isn’t satisfied for his people just to know what the passage says. He wants them to apply it to their lives.

God laid out the same priority in Ezekiel 33: “They . . . sit before you to listen to your words, but they do not put them into practice.”

Here are three questions that can help us ask “so what?” when we read God’s Word:

  • How does this truth apply to my life and situation?
  • Based on this truth, what changes do I need to make?
  • What practical steps can I take to apply this truth to my life?

The next time you sit down and read God’s Word, be sure to take the final step. Ask God to help you to put what you read into practice.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

  • “Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for.” – Elisabeth Elliot

Verse of the Day

And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet: ‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, Are not the least among the rulers of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel.’ ” — Matthew 2:4-6 (NKJV)
