Love God Greatly - Psalm 119Sample

Reflection: The Word of God is life, because it reveals God and His purposes. We are able to read and understand God’s desire towards us. We aren’t left in the dark trying to figure things out. Reading and meditating on God’s Word serves to align our hearts and minds with our Father’s heart. God’s Word strengthens us and roots us in the knowledge of the Lord when we are weak and bombarded with desires that attempt to draw us away from Him. God’s Word gives us direction and focus when we have to choose between what looks good, what feels good, and what is good. Believers must make studying God’s Word a priority in order to be aware of the wonderful promises and treasure within it.

Father God, give me a deep love for Your Word. Give me a passion for understanding it and sharing it. Pour out Your wisdom upon me that I may rightly discern Your Word so that I am able to encourage and uplift others with it. Lord, guard me from sharing Your Word out of context or from sugarcoating Your Word to satisfy those with itching ears. Most of all, Lord, help me to walk in Your Word, that I may not deceive myself by becoming one who only hears Your Word but does not do Your Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
