Psalm 119:11 CEB) I
keep your word close, in my heart, so that I won’t sin against you.
I have mixed feelings about watching Jeopardy. I can’t imagine how these people know the
answers to some of the quiz questions!
It makes me feel pretty ignorant sometimes. When I do watch it I hope that maybe I’ll
learn something useful; maybe a bit of trivia to drop in a middle of a sermon. Last night though I was on a roll. I answered questions all three contestants
missed even answering all the sports questions.
Where some of those answers came from, I don’t know. It seems that we can almost unconsciously
store away bits of information. Psalm
119 is a good scripture about storing away bits of God’s word. When we do that, often in times of distress
those scriptures will surface giving us comfort and reassurance. I recommend that everyone have at least one
Bible they don’t mind marking up – I write in all of mine although it took
awhile to become comfortable writing in books. Highlight scriptures that
resonate with you and then periodically go back through and read them until
they are hidden in your heart. It’s
definitely worth the effort!
Thank you Lord, for the gift of your living Word. Speak to us as we read the scriptures and
reveal their meaning to us and for us.
We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Blessings,
Paige
