O - Observation
The importance of knowing God's word. Peter is getting ready to get to the heart of his message to the people around him. He references back to the scriptures. He essentially SOAP's a passage from Joel. Not only had he memorized the verses, but then he applied them to their lives. Remember, Proverbs 30 v. 5a, "Every word of God proves true." So knowing God's word is the basis for sharing your faith. We need to commit to daily reading, meditating, studying and memorizing God's word. This provides the foundation of our lives. God's word provides clarity. Psalm 119 v. 105, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." Knowing God's word not only brighten your path, but the path of those around you as well.

A - Application
How much time are you spending knowing God's word?

Jesus, Help me to make being in your word a daily event.    Love Will
