Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. DELIGHT IN THE LORD IN ALL THY WAYS!!!
What is your favorite dessert? I like chocolate and frozen yogurt swirl cones. Hmmm, good. It is hard for me to pass Braum's without stopping for yogurt. It is like a pulling, a magnet, a force that wants me to come in.
Well, what about your Bible? Does it pull you in or do you do it out of duty? Or maybe just a ritual and you don't fully comprehend what you are reading?
Psalm tells us to "MEDITATE" day and night on God's word. This does not mean to ''read it through'' as a duty, but to think about what your are reading, maybe talk out-loud to yourself, but read for clarity and to understand.
Once you get into reading the Bible to absorb and understand it will become the chocolate or yogurt that pulls you. You will delight in the word of God.
Just like your favorite treat, the more you engage with the Bible, the more you will like it and yearn for it. Many people "know" the Bible, but do not resonate or relate to God's word. It is just a big book of history that the main parts are remembered, but not taken seriously.
God's word (Bible) helps us in knowing God's will and want for us. That is the eternal life that is promised by God, who never breaks a promise. So, are you a casual reader of the Bible, OR, are you totally engaged in God's word and working for the kingdom of the LORD and you are walking with JESUS?
Start today, reading the word, set a time aside each day to be with God and absorb HIS word. Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
If you read daily you will become as is Psalm 1:3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, that yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
Read on, absorb much, share lots, and delight in the word. Thanks for reading today. Love y'all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
