Today’s email is simple. Honest. It takes a page out of one I shared last week. Really. It is simple.
Here are the verses on my mind. Like I said, I shared them last week.
Psalm 19:10-11 NLT
They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. 11 They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them.
It is talking about the truth of God revealed in the Bible, the word of God. We can trust them, and we should see them as valuable, more valuable than many other things.
A couple weeks ago I was at an event and having breakfast. While making my morning coffee I chose to put honey in it. Wow. It was sweet. I liked it.
The word of God is that too. It is sweet. It is powerful. It tastes a little like other things, but it is so much better. Like honey dripping from a honey comb that is wanted by everyone. The truth of Scripture should be wanted, hunted, found and ingested.
The word of God also warns us and leaves us with a reward. Check that one by living by what God says.
Psalm 19:14 NLT
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Yes, pray that prayer again. Let God work in and through His word that is placed in our lives, over our lives and that sinks down in to our lives.
May my words show that I have been with God. May my thoughts, the ones in my heart, be patterned after what God says in the Bible. This really will change us and change the people around us.
I want to find some of that honey. How about you?
