Devotional Day 5

Sorry I missed a few days, but we'll start back up with Day 5 and then I may double up on some posts in the coming days.

Psalm 19:8,10

Part of learning to love and know God is learning to love and know His Word, the Bible. God has given us special revelation, telling u who He is, and what He expects us to do. These words are light for us, they show us the way. They should be precious to us, more valuable than any worldly goods, more desirable than any treasure. If these things are going to be true in our lives, we have to learn to know His Word. And in order to know His Word, we have to read it, digest it, meditate on it, and apply it to our lives. We have to be intentional about this. It won't happen on it's own, it isn't automatic. Is the reading of God's Word a regular part of your life? Do you spend a little time each day orienting yourself, checking out your path, with the light of Scripture? Even if you start with only a few verses, and a few minutes, commit to making time for this. Plan to read systematically, and be faithful to do it. You will find it sweet, sweeter than honey.

Read the rest of Psalm 19, and pick out one verse to keep in your mind and think about throughout the day.
