Praising the Word, Day 4 No automatic understanding. Read Psalm 119:25-32. As we read through this fourth section of Psalm 119 representing the Hebrew letter Daleth, we see that our relationship with God and his word is something we must actively choose. We cannot passively fall into a relationship with God and his word. We must actively choose to listen to him and to seek him. He is the one who must grant understanding. We’ll never truly understand God’s word apart from his Holy Spirit’s guidance and interpretation. People who do not follow Christ struggle to understand what the Bible means because they do not have the Holy Spirit to…

Praising the Word, Day 3 Where do you get your advice? Read Psalm 119:17-24. As we read through this section of verses, we see that others are not focused on the word of God, and that is a detriment to them. Other people are rebuking and slandering the Lord, but the psalmist explains that he goes to God’s word for everything. He even sees God’s word as the source of advice. When he is wondering about something or questioning something, he goes to the word of God as his source of strength and insight and advice. Do we seek advice from God’s word? Are we basing all advice that we…

Praising the Word, Day 2 Hiding the treasure. Read Psalm 119:9-16. Today, we look at the section of Psalm 119 that starts with the Hebrew letter “Beth.” When we think about a treasure, often, my mind goes to pirates and stories of hidden, buried treasure. They would bury it and hide it to keep it safe so that no one could take it from them. When we think of God’s word, it is truly a treasure. God has provided his word and we are to treat it as a true treasure. How can we hide a treasure so that no one can take it away from us? We memorize it…

The Voice of the Prophet, Day 64 No other God. Read Isaiah chapter 64. There is no other God. A lot of other things claim to be God. A lot of other people claim to have other gods, but there truly is no other God. There is no one who actually acts on behalf of the people who love and believe him. There’s no other God who is as compassionate, caring, and capable as the one true God. Other people have tried to create gods and invent something to believe in. Yet there is nothing like the one true God. Are we a believer in, and do we trust in…

The Voice of the Prophet, Day 63 Spread the Word. Read Isaiah chapter 63. We have been reading about the glory and majesty of God. Here we see just how important it is that we share that message with the world. If God is truly as wonderful, majestic, and powerful, as we understand him to be, we should be sharing that loudly and proudly with every single person we come into contact with. Are we spreading the word of the incredible majesty of the Lord? Do we talk about his deeds and mention all the things he has done? God is worthy. We our responsible to spread the word of…

The Voice of the Prophet, Day 62 Wanted. Read Isaiah chapter 62. As God continues to describe for Isaiah what things will look like when he has made everything right, we see people go from being unwanted to being sought after and desired. When God restores us, he does it because he wants us. He desires to have us with him. This feeling of being wanted is something that we are often chasing in this world. We want people to want us and to desire us. We want to feel like what we do has meaning and purpose. Here we see that as God has restored us, we have purpose…

The Voice of the Prophet, Day 61 A new wardrobe! Read Isaiah chapter 61. As we continue to put our trust and faith in God, God saves us. And, his salvation includes everything. He no longer allows us to remain in the filth and the grime that we have been covered in our whole lives. God gives us a new wardrobe and clothes us in his salvation, along with all of the accessories that one would expect to see. God adorns us and arrays us like his beautiful, chosen one. We are his pride and joy. We are his love. We have value and worth far beyond anything in this…
