Have you
had your Joy Juice today? The joy of the
Lord comes freely to those who meditate consistently on the Word of God.
Is Godly
meditation only for preachers and spiritual leaders? No! It’s for all of us… so that we might be
able to grow in our relationship with God. Listen to the words of Psalm
119:97-100:
“Oh, how I love your law! I
meditate on it all day long.
Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are
ever with me. I have more insight than
all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes. I have more
understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts.”
The
writer of this Psalm was in love with God and His Word! He was passionate about
mediating on God’s Word all day; he desired the wisdom and insight he would
gain by soaking it in and learning all he could regarding God’s statutes and
precepts. Are we that passionate about
reading the Bible? Or do we let most everything else take priority? Do we wait until we can find the time or do we MAKE the time to read His Word?
The
majority of us rush through the day with all kinds of obligations,
responsibilities and a flurry of activity only to realize we never spent time
with God. Let’s ask Him to make us hungry to study His Word. May we develop such a love for Him that our
appetite is ravenous and we can’t get enough of the “Bread of Life”! When our love for Him grows, our JOY in HIM
will overflow.
Start now by opening The Book that brings
indescribable joy in the Lord!
