Daily Reading: Micah 5:1-7:20, Revelation 7:1-17, Psalm 135:1-21, Proverbs 30:5-6
Daily Verse: “Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.” Prov. 30:5
Flawless word.
Trustworthy purity, God’s word has no deceit or falsity in it, flawless in every way. Because we can trust the Lord’s word, we can take refuge in it, finding security in His promises.
“Your Bibles printed on paper are a blessing, but to have the Scriptures written on the heart is far better.” Charles Spurgeon
Writing God’s word on our hearts takes intentional meditation and memorization of His word. Not one of my strengths, I constantly work on inscribing scripture on my soul. Screenshotting a verse in today’s technological world lets me save it on my phone, make it my wallpaper, and learn it. As I move through whatever, God’s word guides me.
Imprinting scripture on your heart will lead you to the truth. God’s word opens our eyes to imperfections we can’t see in ourselves. Accepting our flaws deepens the desire for Jesus’ perfection, as He covers our sins and makes us new in Him.
Seek refuge in God’s truth and find peace.
Lord, forgive us our errant ways. Let us add nothing to Your word, accepting its truth and relishing in the security we find in it. Guide and direct us in all our ways as we pursue You with our hearts, minds, souls, and bodies. IJNIP. Amen
