All Scripture . . .

I'm sure that most of you are very busy on this Monday morning and probably already have your schedules planned for the week.  Did you include in your schedule spending time in God's Holy Word?  I am afraid that too many of us spend little time in the Word of the Lord, forgetting that it is the necessary food for health and joy in our spiritual lives. 
The Psalmist said in Psalm 119:103:  "How sweet are Thy words unto my taste!  yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!"
In Deuteronomy 8:3, we are told:  "Man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live."  I love this beautiful thought, and I also love the sweet promise for daily guidance in Psalm 119:105 -- "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

The wonderful testimony of David in Psalm 19:7-9 also speaks to my heart today!
     The LAW of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul:
     The TESTIMONY of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple:
     The STATUES of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart:
     The COMMANDMENT of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
     The FEAR of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever:
     The JUDGMENTS of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

Perhaps these wonderful words from the Old Testament will bring to your mind the great assertion of the Apostle Paul in I Timothy 3:16-17:  "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for your blessed Holy Word!  Help me to hide it in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee!
