It's in God's Word - from Daily Bread (15 January)

Scriptural Text: Ps 119: 25-32
Psalm 119: 25-32, according to my study bible(The New Adventure Bible - for kids), it is a prayer for understanding the law, which is God's Word.

25My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
26I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.
27Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
28My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
29Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
30I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.
31I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
32I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

The psalmist is asking God to help him to understand and to teach him His precepts, which is His Law/Word so that he can tell others about God's wondrous works(v.27). He also ask God to strengthen him according to His word and to keep him away sins(v.28 & v.29)

Therefore, when we read the Bible daily, before we read, we should be like the psalmist, ask God to help us understand His Word and to teach us how we should live our Christian lives and to tell others about Him. We also need to ask God to comfort, strengthen and encourage us in our faith through His Word. Most importantly, we should ask Him to help us to keep His Word in our hearts so that we will not sin against Him (Ps 119:11).

After i read the article in Our Daily Bread (go to the link above and read it, very encouraging=), there is one quote, it's from Sper, it says

"If your soul is parched and thirsty
And you feel weighed down by care,
Go to God’s Word for refreshment—
You’ll find strength and comfort there. —Sper"

Then at the end of the article, it says "A well-read Bible makes a well-fed soul". I hope we be encouraged to go back to God's Word daily, no matter how busy are you and how you feeling that day, because when we read His Word, WE WILL BE FED SPIRITUALLY and we can find guidance, hope and knowledge in His Word to help us in our daily lives. Let's read God's word and be fed by Him.
