Sabbath in the PsalmsExemplo

God’s Word is a Fountain of Life

No matter where you are, what you are walking through, or what you are carrying, you have access to everything you need for life and life to the full. How? Through the living and active Word of God, the Holy Scripture. This does not mean that you won’t experience hardship or tension or that you won’t still walk through dark shadows. But it does mean that you will have comfort in chaos and life in the struggle. When you don’t see the value and power available to you through the Word of God, when you don’t go to it first, and you don’t learn to depend on it, you’ll find yourself striving to find answers in all the wrong places. But God has already given you the greatest answer—His Word—and when you commit to knowing it, you can find peace, resting in His secure sovereignty and remembering His track record of coming through for His people.

Reflect + Apply

Read Psalm 119 in its entirety today and notice all the times the author finds joy in the word of God (His precepts, testimonies, laws, commands, etc.). Ask that God would spark that same kind of delight in your heart.

Prayer

God, I praise you for the power of your Word. Would your Spirit keep the Word close to my heart, and would I long to find You within the pages of Scripture?
