There is nothing more valuable outside salvation than the gift of God’s Word
I rejoice over your promise like one who finds vast treasure. -Psalm 119:162
I started a study on the epistles of John, and I drank so deeply from the well of His Word that I hadn’t even realized how parched I was.
It hasn’t been that long since I’d studied deeply, but apparently long enough to be that thirsty. I was digging in 1 John like I was looking for treasure. I was excited when I came across confirmations I had heard the Lord speak to me even within the last week. It’s refreshing to know without a doubt when God is speaking!
I treasure God’s Word not just because I value the Bible, but because it allows me to know God in such a tangible way. Having God’s Word in my hands is such a gift.
It tends my soul and answers the many questions of what I should do, how I live, what it looks like to give and receive love, and how I know God loves me.
God’s Word is described as more precious than gold (or money) and sweeter than honey. Not only is God’s Word true, but it’s also valuable and good!
When I recognize the Word of God as the most valuable item I own, I can see it with a different perspective. The Bible is not mere words on a page; it’s a life of abundance and a love to behold tucked inside the pages of the most beautiful book in the world, written with me (and you) in mind.
I get to partake of its goodness every single day. I am the richest woman in the world. If you belong to Jesus and own a Bible, you are, too!
I have treasured your word in my heart so that I might not sin against you.
-Psalm 119:11
Savoring Him,
Christin
