Consider how I love your precepts! Give me life according to your steadfast love. The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.
Psalm 119:159-160
Life needs constant renewal, and we get it from the Lord. In His word, we find truths that help us persevere on the darkest days. Applying God’s precepts to our lives teaches us about His love and promises. To know Jesus, we must know scripture. In the pages of the Bible, we learn about the Savior and how He dealt with the world, which didn’t differ much from the one we live in now. Political upheaval, false teachers, and betrayal by people all existed, just like they do today. And instead of responding from a human perspective, the Lord applied divine tactics to create a movement that lasts for eternity.
God promises never to leave nor forsake us. He guides us on how to have relationships, handle finances, and experience life to the fullest despite our sufferings. Tested for thousands of years by millions and millions of people, the Lord’s instructions prove true. When all else fails, God’s precepts don’t. Amid our heartache, we can find comfort in the Creator’s arms as we seek Him through His word.
Find truth in scripture. Apply God’s directions to your life and experience His faithfulness. Discover the peace that surpasses all understanding as you learn to trust Jesus more and more. Each day, the Lord will transform you as His precepts guide you on the journey that will one day take you to His glory. We struggle for a short time before reaching our eternal home that has no tears, no heartache, only love we can’t begin to imagine.
Application:
God’s word gives us truthful instruction.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for giving us Your word to guide and direct us. Please help us apply Your precepts to our lives and experience the joy that comes only from You. Let us serve You well, honoring You in all we do. To You, we give the glory.
IJNIP. Amen
