The Pursuit - 12 Weeksنموونە

Psalm 19 paints one of the most beautiful pictures of how God reveals Himself to us. First, David looks up at the heavens and sees the majesty of creation — the stars silently declaring God’s glory. But then he turns to something even more personal: God’s Word. The skies show God’s power, but Scripture shows His heart.

David piles up adjectives to describe the Word: perfect, trustworthy, right, clear, pure, and true. It’s not dry information or abstract theology; it’s life-giving truth. When you open your Bible, you’re not just reading words on a page — you’re drinking in the voice of the living God. That’s why David says it revives the soul. God’s Word brings light to dark places, wisdom to the confused, and joy to the weary.

If you’ve ever been exhausted, disoriented, or spiritually numb, the Bible is exactly what you need. It’s not a textbook to analyze or a checklist to complete. It’s water for a thirsty heart. Think about the relief of taking a long drink on a hot summer day — that’s what time in Scripture can be for your soul.

The problem is that many of us approach the Bible like medicine — something we know we should take but don’t really want to. But when you finally taste its goodness, you realize it’s not bitter at all. It’s sweet — sweeter than honey, as David says. The more you come back to it, the more you crave it.

Reflection:

How can you make reading Scripture feel more like drinking living water — something you long for instead of a task to complete?
