When
I Discovered Your Words,
I
Devoured Them.
They
Are My Joy And My Heart's Delight.
Scripture
Jeremiah
15
16 When
I discovered your words, I devoured them.
They are my joy and my heart’s delight,
for I bear your name,
O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies.
They are my joy and my heart’s delight,
for I bear your name,
O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies.
Observation
What
was the secret to the Prophet Jeremiah's life? Why was he so faithful
to the Lord when it seemed that no one else was? I think the secret
to Jeremiah's success can be found in Jeremiah 15:16 – He loved
God's word. He didn't just read God's words, he devoured them! Don't
kid yourself, don't think that you can live the Christian life
without spending time in God's Word every day.
Do
whatever it takes to develop the good habit of spending time with
Jesus in His Word every single day. If you need to get up earlier
then get up earlier. If you need to go to bed earlier to get up
earlier – do it! Don't look at social media or the television until
you have spent time reading your Bible. Your spiritual life depends
on it!
“In
the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and
the Word was God. So
the Word became human and
made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and
faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s
one and only Son.”
John 1:1,14
“We
proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have
heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our
own hands. He is the Word of life.” 1 John 1:1
“Study
this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so
you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you
prosper and succeed in all you do.” Joshua 1:8
Application
I
will adjust my schedule to make sure that I have time to read God's
Word.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for what I read today in Your Word. Jeremiah 15 and
John 15 both let me know that without being close to You that my life
is worth nothing. Help me to spend time with You every day in Your
Word. Thanks for waking me up early this morning and helping me get
out of bed so I could read Your Word. I know that it is what You want
me to do.
Help
any person reading this blog today to dig into their Bible. Help them
develop the good habit of spending time with You every day. Give them
success!
