Psalm 119 With Matt Chandler: A 10-Day RightNow Media Devotionalનમૂનો

Day 6: Psalm 119:97–120

We all have different appetites, but most of us can relate to tasting something delicious and craving it again later. David describes the Word of God in these terms in our session today, likening it to sweet honey in his mouth. We’re going to spend our time focusing on what it means to develop a consistent appetite for God’s Word.

Reflect

David describes his love for God’s Word as his “meditation all the day,” meaning as he goes about his daily duties, he’s constantly thinking on the Word of God. Would you describe yourself as having this level of love for God’s Word? Why, or why not? What would change about the way you go about your life if God’s Word was your “meditation all the day”?

God’s Word leads us to greater intimacy with Him, but it also teaches us to fear Him—a topic many find both unsettling and confusing today. How do you react to the idea of fearing God? What does that look like for you? How would your life look different if you were to walk in a biblical fear of God?

Respond

The Word of God is sustenance for our appetites and a guide when we need wisdom. But most importantly, it is a means to an end, namely, a relationship with God. Through Scripture, God reveals Himself to us and we grow in intimacy with Him by deepening our understanding of His ways. If you struggle to consistently study God’s Word, perhaps you have lost sight of its purpose to draw you closer to your Savior and conform you to His image.

Each day this week, pray and ask God to create or revive in you a joy for His Word and trust Him to lead you in faithful obedience.
