May 15 – Loving the Scriptures
Loving the Scriptures means valuing and delighting in the Word of God. It is not a forced discipline but an affection that grows as one recognises the worth of God’s Word. Love for Scripture is expressed in attention, priority, and consistency.
This matters because love determines engagement. What you love, you return to. When the Word is loved, it becomes a daily pursuit rather than an occasional duty. It moves from obligation to desire.
When the Scripture is not loved, engagement becomes mechanical. The Word is treated as a task rather than a treasure. This leads to inconsistency and shallow understanding.
DAILY EXERCISE
Reflect on your current attitude towards the Scriptures. Write down one practical way to prioritise the Word daily.
PRAYER
Father, place a genuine love for Your Word in my heart. Let me delight in Scripture and pursue it daily. I pray for believers, families, students, and leaders across Nigeria that there will be a renewed love for Your Word. Lord, we ask that across nations, hearts will turn toward Your Word. Let the Church worldwide grow in affection for Scripture.
CONFESSION
I love the Word of God. I delight in Scripture and engage it daily.
