Today’s
scripture: Jeremiah 15:16
Oh, how I want this to be true in my life. I so want God’s word to be the “joy and rejoicing of my heart.”
I read God’s word every day. I read a few devotionals, and for over a decade, I’ve read the Bible in its entirety each year. I really do love it.
But I have to admit that, sometimes, it is just another thing on my “to do” list. I don’t “eat” God’s word as a necessity, something I need, something I crave. And, during those times, I pray that God will give me a hunger and thirst for His word. I pray for a renewed desire to study and meditate on His word.
I don’t want my time with the Lord and time in His word to be anything less than a time of rejoicing, and so I pray again today that He will speak to me, reveal truth to me … remind me of the joy in knowing Him more.
Do you hunger after God’s word? If not, may I invite you to join me in the same prayer?
