In fact, it wasn&rsquo;t the normal experience for believers in any dispensation. Yes, prophets and other key leaders did, at various times, receive direct communication from God. But that was never the norm.</p>

<p>The normal is for the believer to read the written word of God, the Scriptures. Israel was expected to know the law. Nehemiah 8:8 says, &ldquo;So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly and gave the sense and caused them to understand the reading.&rdquo; Israel&rsquo;s leaders were expected to do what Joshua was commanded to do in Joshua 1:7-8: &ldquo;That thou mayest observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Jesus continually expected the Jews He met to know and apply the law also. In Matthew 12:5 He says, &ldquo;Have ye not read in the law how that on the Sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath and are blameless?&rdquo; In Luke 10:26, &ldquo;He said unto him, &lsquo;What is written in the law? How readest you?&rsquo;&rdquo;</p>

<p>We are also expected to know and apply God&rsquo;s word. He told Timothy to, &ldquo;Study to shew thyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth&rdquo; (2 Tim 2:15).</p>

But his delight is in the law of the LORD and in his law doth he meditate day and night&rdquo; Ps 1:1-2.</p>

<p>God&rsquo;s word has always kept His people right before Him. When the copy of the law of the Lord had been found in the time of King Josiah, God&rsquo;s wrath had been kindled against Israel 2 Kgs 22:8-13. Without the guidance of the law they had transgressed against the Lord. They had not obeyed God&rsquo;s word because of its absence. Those of us who ignore His words and commands today face the same danger.</p>

The only way to grow is to learn about God and what he commands by reading, studying God&rsquo;s word. This knowledge gives the Holy Spirit material to work with to train your conscience. It informs your prayer and directs your lives.</p>

That is why Paul says, &ldquo;For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect&rdquo; (1 Cor 1:17). &ldquo;For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved it is the power of God&rdquo; (1 Cor 1:18). The power is in the cross and God&rsquo;s word, not ours.</p>

That way, Christ crucified was the simple message. He purposely didn&rsquo;t complicate the message by speaking of other issues. He wanted to emphasize the perfect work of Christ.</p>

Jesus said they like walking around in long robes, elaborate greetings, the best seats, and the places of honor. They put themselves above the common people. Paul did the opposite and &ldquo;made himself a servant unto all&rdquo; (1 Cor 9:19).</p>

It is my meditation all the day&rdquo; (Ps 119:97). There are many ways to learn God&rsquo;s law. The psalmist spoke of meditating in it. It can also be memorized, publicly read, examined in detail, and applied. All of these approaches are valuable and they complement each other.</p>
