Today's
scripture: Psalm 25:4-5
We who follow Jesus Christ serve the one true God. He is gracious, merciful, righteous, and just ... and He is personal, wanting to be known by His children.
Other faith systems believe in some kind of higher power that is "out there" somewhere. Our God isn't like that at all. He knows us and wants to be known by us. He has left us a wonderful gift in His words that show us His heart.
We know God through His word, and all we have to do is study and meditate on its words. He "shows [us His] ways" and "teach[es us His] paths; He lead[s us in His] truth and teach[es us]" through the God-breathed words in the Bible.
That's why it is critical for believers to spend daily time in the Bible, studying and pondering its words. This is more than just a cursory reading just a verse here and there; rather, it is taking significant time prayerfully meditating on what God is trying to tell us. It's asking questions like, "Lord, what do you want me to know about this verse, this chapter?"
Our God wants to teach us. He wants to show us His ways and paths. He wants to reveal His plans. He only asks that we spend time with Him.
Today, grab your Bible. Pray for God's revelation as you read, study, and meditate on His word.
