Journey: 30 Days to a Close Relationship With Godಮಾದರಿ

The world can be a very dark place. There are so many opinions and so-called truths, but Psalm 119:105 (TLB) tells us that God's Word is like a flashlight (or lamp if you lived back then). It is a tool and helps people find their way when their mind, wisdom, and strength aren't enough to navigate life's journey.

What is guiding you along the path of life? How hard would it be to walk a path in the middle of the night without any lights? It would be really difficult, right? Yet, we can go through life without God's Word lighting the way.

God offers us truth to help us know the way. He offers truth for our families, our marriages, our work, our church, our morals, our calling, and more! It's all there; we just have to hear God's Word by reading it!

It's time to clear the mind and focus on Jesus. The texts can wait. The calls and emails don't need to be responded to right now. It's time for you and Jesus to meet. Push all the distractions aside and set all your thoughts on Jesus. At first, it's hard, but work at it, and it becomes easier.

Turn to Psalm 119 and begin to pray the Psalm. It has 176 verses in the whole chapter, so if you don't get through all of it, that's okay. (It's the longest chapter in the Bible, longer than some whole books!) Just ask God to help you apply the verses to your own life. Oh, and when it says "law" it just means God's Word or what God wants us to do.

Prayer: Jesus, today is all about you! I want my life to reflect your goodness and love to those around me, so right now, prepare my heart and mind to hear from you. Give me the spiritual eyes and ears to learn from you. Thank you in advance for what you're going to show me! In Jesus' name, Amen!

Memory Verse: Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. (Psalm 119:105, NIV)
