2.         Today's lesson is the last lesson in the Word of God series. I hope it has been helpful and I hope you have  gained a greater appreciation of the Word of God.  In today's lesson we look at how the              word of God becomes a part of our daily life.  It is important  not to compartmentalize your life with Christian values in one area, then have worldy values in another. God wants us to instill His mighty word into our hearts and let His word flow into everything we do.
