Excellent study of Gods Awesome Word. Have to comment on the study point re opposition. It is so easy to lose focus during lifes struggles and forget that we are already winning the fight! Satan makes sure we stay distracted; not difficult in todays world; he tricks us into believing that quoting a scripture every once in a while is sufficient, that we dont need to meditate on Gods Word throughout the day, when the reality is, we cant have a successful day without! His Word is indeed our GPS! Without Its turn by turn navigation, we would be lost, we may even get there, but its a longer more stressful route!
