Psalms 119:14-16, 18 ~ 14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. 15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. 16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. 18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. KJV
It is my greatest joy to read and study the Word of God. As the Psalmist wrote, the testimonies alone, greater than any riches, bring him "delight" and joy no doubt. It sure does me. We miss so much by not reading and studying as God would have us do. To ignore the Word of God in our daily walk as Christians is one of the biggest mistakes we can ever make! 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
When we take in a "daily diet" of God's Word, we are preparing our hearts and minds for whatever may come our way for the day. You can't read and study the Word without being affected in some way shape or form. God is forever reminding us - this "LOVE LETTER" was written with us in mind. We see Jesus from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:20. The love of Jesus for all is immense. I want to know about the One Who loved me so much, that He gave His life for me. I want to have the knowledge laid out in every letter, word, sentence, verse, chapter, book, don't you?
But I can't just pick it up and read it without a heart to know it and study it. It is not my preference it is my belief that the King James Bible is the inspired Word of God, and it was given to all men. It is not an accident that many foreign countries have made English either their 2nd language or in some cases their first. God would have all to have access to the unadulterated, true Word of God. Thank you, Lord, for keeping us on Your mind.
If you have never made it a habit to read your Bible every day, maybe you need salvation, a checkup on your hearts condition, and most of all a yearning in your heart to draw closer to God. Let Him help you! You won't regret it!
Follow After Christ Always!
HE LOVES US!
