“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” Psalm 119:105
The longest chapter in the Bible, Psalm 119, makes some pretty bold claims about God’s Word. Of the 176 verses, 172 talk directly about God’s Word.
- Keeping God’s Word keeps us pure (Psalm 119:9).
- God’s Word gives us direction (Psalm 119:105).
- In the midst of trouble and distress, God’s Word gives us delight (Psalm 119:143).
You get the point.
God gave us His Word to guard us and help us thrive. Some people view the Bible as a negative book that tells us how bad we are. Just the opposite is true! God’s Word will fuel your passionate life with Christ. If you want to be a man of passion, you’re going to need the Word of God to guide you.
CHALLENGE:
Make a plan with God to consistently spend time with Him in His Word. Whatever you hear God asking (be it baby-steps or super-challenging), do it!
