Today’s reading is Psalm 19.
Yesterday, we learned about the significant power of God’s Word. In fact, one blog post was not even remotely enough to mine the depths of what this week’s psalm shares about God’s Word. But we must move on to see the impact the Lord’s Word must have on us. The Lord’s Word is not supposed to remain in the pages of a book. If it is going to do all that David claimed, it must find its way into my mouth and my meditations. My words and my thoughts need to be anchored in it. The Lord is my Rock and my Redeemer, but only if the Lord’s Word is the bedrock upon which my life is being built, only if the Lord’s Word is the soil in which my life is planted and growing. My life is only about God if my days are spent in His Word. Don’t just read God’s Word, saturate your life with God’s Word. Let it change your words. Let it change your thoughts. Let it occupy your heart, mind, and life. There is no television show, no song on the radio, no movie, no book, no magazine, no blog, no Instagram feed so great and powerful as God’s Word. Do not let any of those things have more impact on your words and thinking today than God’s Word. You are here today. So, I assume the Lord’s Word is important to you. Keep it up. I promise you, it will be worth it.
Tomorrow’s reading is Psalm 19.

A Word for Our Kids
Hey kids, do you remember what I shared with you yesterday? Do you remember what the only point I wanted you to remember then was? Guess what! I just want to repeat that today. It is just that important. Read the Word. And when I say, “Read the Word,” I do mean Read your Bible. But don’t just read your Bible, learn your Bible. Know the stories. Discover the history. Memorize the instruction. Think about it when you are by yourself. Talk about it when you are with others. Write about it in your journal. Pray about it when you are alone with God. Let God’s Word get into your heart and mind so much that it changes the way you speak and even what you think about. Look, I’ll admit it, many of the other kids will think you’re weird. But God will say for all to hear, “Hey, you see that kid? That’s my kid.” Praise the Lord!
