Get Excited About God
1. Read His Word. God wrote you a letter, you ought to read your mail 2. Remember His Word, (memorize it). Be like Jesus, He memorized the Bible 3. Rehearse His Word (meditate therein day and night) 4. Respond to His Word (obey God. do what He said) 5. Relate His Word: preach it. 6. Rejoice in His Word Ps 1:1, 2. "Blessed is the man...that delights in the law of the Lord" Ps. 1:1,2. Delight in the Bible All of our five children and their children play golf. It is fun. You should see us when one of us makes a birdie. We have a duck fit. In one of our family tournaments one of our sons made a hole in one. WOW. You have never seen such carrying on. But do you know what? It did not last forever. When you and I delight in the Word of God and find an eternal nugget it lasts forever and we are eternally blessed. Set your affections on things above. There is nothing wrong with having fun and delighting in things down here. The wise man will set his affections on things above Col. 3:1 and "delight in the law of the Lord" Ps. 1:2. He will get great pleasure out of the Bible. Doesn't that make sense? I am amazed You have heard it. Someone sees a movie or a TV program that delights them and they relate the story or program in detail. When have you heard someone get so delighted in the Word of God, and it is FULL of the most exciting stories and truths in the world, and they tell about what they read the day before? With all the bad things in the news and terrible TV programs, we need to "exhort (encourage) one another daily" with something from God Heb. 3:13. O dear people, we have such a fabulous opportunity to be a blessing and encourage one another and exalt the Lord Jesus by "delighting the law of the Lord." Prayer: Father, You wrote us the most exciting letter in the world. Help us to delight in Your Letter and share it with others. In Jesus name Scripture: "Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart" Ps 37:4 | |||||
