Obsessed

Hosea 4:6 NLT
My people are being destroyed because they don’t know me. Since
you priests refuse to know me, I refuse to recognize you as my
priests. Since you have forgotten the laws of your God, I will forget to
bless your children.
Why We Should Be Obsessed:

1. The Word helps us stay pure.
   Psalm 119:9 NLT
   How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word.
   1 Corinthians 6:9-11 NLT
   Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom
   of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or
   who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or
   practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or
   drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit
   the Kingdom of God. Some of you were once like that. But you were
   cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by
   calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our
   God.
   2 Timothy 2:19-22 NLT
   But God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this
   inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and “All who belong
   to the Lord must turn away from evil.” In a wealthy home some
   utensils are made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood
   and clay. The expensive utensils are used for special occasions, and
   the cheap ones are for everyday use. If you keep yourself pure, you
   will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and
   you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work. Run
   from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous
   living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of
   those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.
2. The Word gives direction.
   Psalm 119:105 NLT
   Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
   Colossians 3:23-24 NLT
   Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for
   the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you
   an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is
   Christ.
