"Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the Lord!
Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
who seek him with their whole heart,
who also do no wrong,
but walk in His ways!
You have commanded your precepts
to be kept diligently.
Oh that my way may be steadfast
in keeping your statutes!
Then I shall not be put to shame,
having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
I will praise you with an upright heart,
when I learn your righteous rules.
I will keep your statutes;
do not utterly forsake me!
How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to Your word.
With my whole heart I seek You;
let me not wander from Your commandments!
I have stored up Your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against You.
Blessed are You, O Lord;
teach me Your statutes!
With my lips I declare
all the rules of Your mouth.
In the way of Your testimonies I delight
as much as in all riches.
I will meditate on Your precepts
and fix my eyes on Your ways.
I will delight in Your statutes;
I will not forget Your word."
Do you hunger for more of God? Do you let it sink deep within Your spirit? His word is a light in the darkness. It's comfort to those who are hurting! Hid words are life when your life seems dry or dead. His word is health when you are sick and hurting. His word is living and active. God's words are everything we need for life and Godliness. We should grow in Him daily. I am going to make a challenge for myself to grow. I am going to make a commitment from this day forward that I will not eat actual food unless I have "eaten" my spiritual food! I am saying that I am making a commitment from this day on that I will not eat actual food unless I spend time with God and dig and meditate and read and seek God in His word-my spiritual food. We live in a free country and we are able to have the Bible freely. There are many in other countries who yearn and desire just to have a piece of the Bible! Just a piece would make them happy and we take it so lightly in America! We should devour God's word and apply it to our lives DAILY! We should eat it up and digest it in our life! We should share God's food with others and help them taste and see that the Lord is GOOD and He is just and righteous! God cares and He wants the best for our lives! I hope this has encouraged you to devour God's word and make it applicable to your life! It's the greatest gift EVER!
Seeking Him,
Traci
