She Reads Truth - This is The Bible Day #8
Intimacy with God comes in spending time in the word. We turn to God and his word when we need relief and encouragement, but we also need to share what we learn with others. Hearing and telling is the give and take of the scriptures.
Today's Psalm passage teaches us that we can pray and cry out to God for rescue and he responds with teaching us his words and guiding our steps with love. I know your laws / commands are TRUE.
Psalm 119:143 "As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in your commands."
From my journal:
In Luke we read about the light of God's word. No one lights a lamp and covers it up. The word of God is like that lamp it shines brightly for all to see. But just like the farmer's seeds some only hear the words for a moment, some don't have the deep roots to help the plant grow, others life gets in the way, but for those that hear God's word and cling to it and it will grow a hundred fold.
Luke 11:28 "Blessed are those that hear the word of God and put it into practice."
Faith comes from hearing, hearing the message and sharing it with all who will hear it.
