By Kim. M.I have been thinking about my 10th grade girls in youth and thinking back over our year together. One recurring prayer request from each of them has been to be more consistent in their quiet times and to have a greater desire for God’s Word. What a great request! As I have reflected on this request, it’s made me consider: if we each REALLY deep down believe the marvelous power and benefit of God’s Word on our lives, why we wouldn’t we want to drink it in daily?
I have been reading in Psalm 119 this month and it is OVERFLOWING with all the practical benefits of God’s Word to our daily lives. I want to challenge you to do something with me over the summer. It won’t take long each day, but I believe the benefits will be long lasting! I have made a reading plan for the summer and I am going to include a section from Psalm 119 in my daily reading. If I follow the plan, then I will read and meditate on Psalm 119 three times this summer. I am going to use a different Bible translation each month. After each day’s reading, I am going to ask myself 3 questions:
- What did I learn about God and His Word?
- What do I learn about me?
- What should my response be to what I have read? (What are the action verbs?)
I would love for each of you to join me in this challenge and share what you are learning!!
