The Psalmist highlights two important things Bible reading does for you: <\/p>\n
(1) It shows you your spiritual condition.<\/i> In Bible times there were no paved roads, so when guests entered a house, they paused to wash the sand, dirt, and grime from their feet. That\u2019s what Bible reading does. The psalmist said, \u2018How can young people<\/i> [and older ones] keep their lives pure? By obeying Your commands.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm\u00a0119:9\u00a0GNT) <\/p>\n
(2) It shows you the direction you need to go.<\/i> When you\u2019re faced with an important decision and you don\u2019t know which way to go, God will be a light to your path and guide you through His Word. <\/p>\n
David, who loved God\u2019s Word and meditated on it constantly, prayed, \u2018Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm\u00a0143:10\u00a0NKJV) Many of the mistakes we make could be prevented if we stopped long enough to seek God\u2019s guidance. He knows what lies ahead; we don\u2019t. So \u2018commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm\u00a037:5\u00a0NKJV) Just like children need to be taught to cultivate a taste for healthy food instead of junk food, you need to cultivate a taste for God\u2019s Word. <\/p>\n
The psalmist said, \u2018I will delight myself in Your commandments, which I love.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm\u00a0119:47\u00a0NKJV) \u2018Your Word is very pure; therefore Your servant loves it.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm\u00a0119:140\u00a0NKJV) Today ask God to give you a love for His Word. That\u2019s a prayer He will answer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
