| Hand of God reaching down in love |
Joshua 1: 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Now, fore sure, those that claim
Jesus, Christians, acknowledge that those words written for a Hebrew people may
have had a context and application somewhat different from what we may apply
today.
But the core context is timeless, reaching across
generations, nationalities, and languages. This core context has to do with
knowing and doing God’s will.
The way we get to know God’s will is by
reading the Bible, allowing it to sink into our brains, and then observing…doing
God’s will.
Folks, I eagerly want to get beyond this
Covid 19 “stay at home” season.
But, as we are stuck at home,
take it as an opportunity to read the Bible and seek out its meaning.
Perhaps keep a journal and
record your thoughts as you read.
Perhaps draw pictures of the
stories you read.
Perhaps keep a scrap book of the
news of the day and references to Scripture you have read.
Make these days count…increase
your knowledge of Scripture.
