STAND UP FOR JESUS!

When I get up in the morning, I am so stiff, that I can't even stand up straight, and I have to make a consciencious effort to straighten myself upright. If I don't stand tall, I will eventually stay in that bent over position!
It's the same way with God's word. You can study His word, in the manner it was intended to be read, but if you begin to bend His word to suit your purposes, then you will not be keeping it true, and you won't be righly dividing the word of God. God didn't give us His word with bendable clauses,or floating fragments! He made them to stand straight and tall,and to rightly divide the word of God....., not to bend it!
Just as with my stooping over, though, we have to make a conscientious effort to keep His laws straight and to NOT bend them to suit our own purposes.
This might be the only time I will be a "stiff necked people", because I do not want to bend His laws!
