Today's
scripture: Psalm 19:7-11
Have I mentioned how much I love, love, love God's word? I don't know why I'm continually amazed how it speaks to me in new ways even though I've read it all the way through each year for years and even though I've studied books, chapters, and verses over and over again.
Then, this morning, I meditated on today's scripture, and tears filled my eyes. I've read these verses many, many times. I've read them in different versions. And they still touch my heart deeply.
May I encourage you to read through them again? And again? Maybe in a few different versions (I especially love NLT and CEV paraphrases)?
God's word is such an amazing gift. It encourages, affirms, educates, edifies, convicts, teaches ... sometimes all at the same time. I encourage you to spend time, real time, in it every day. Meditate on its truths. Revel in its encouragement. Learn from its conviction.
And delight in the knowledge that your God loves you so very much that He left a written document ... just for you!
