In His Word

This week I've realized once again how vitally important it is to be soaked in God's Word. The "busyness" of life and the day-to-day events had caused me to forget how needed His precious Word is.
I had become spiritually dry. Sure I was "reading the Bible." Every day in fact. I had my "Our Daily Bread" devotional and I was goin' to town. But was I meditating on Him and everything He was saying? Was I so completely focused on Him that my soul was free to think of nothing else but Him for that moment of fellowship? No. Now I'm on a new plan. Meditating, Memorizing, and Absorbing the Bible. What better place to start that Psalm 1?

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season, his leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

I highly encourage you to memorize and meditate on the word of God. This summer is going to be a time of testing for me. I'm memorizing 1 John. Thankfully I have a trusted person giving me accountability as I learn it. (Praise God for godly mentors.) I can't wait to have God's word in my head. I need it -- I want it. Nothing makes me so complete.
