Oh, how I love Your law! I meditate on it all day long.
Psalm 119:97
NIV Bible
The Word of God should be our constant companion. Sadly, for many of us, it's been replaced by our mobile phones and other social media sources. We are never too busy to watch our favourite shows or to stay connected to social media. Most of us check our mobile phones regularly throughout the day, then it's the last thing we do before going to bed and first thing again in the morning, but we find ourselves too busy to spend time with God and meditate on His Word. The Bible is our guide and road map for living holy, pleasing and acceptable lives and we can't let anything sidetrack us from spending time in the Word. God speaks to us through His Word and if we truly love Him, we want to please Him and to do that, we must study His laws and precepts.
If we are guilty of being too absorbed in our own pursuits and have no time to spend in the Word of God, we need to rearrange our priorities. Fellowship with God should take precedence over everything else. Instead of constantly reaching for our mobile phones, we should grab our Bibles and let God speak to us. We may also need to turn off our television sets and study His Word. Loving God means giving the best of ourselves to Him, doing the things that would bring honour to Him and one way to do this is to saturate our hearts and minds with the truths found in His Word.
Thank you Lord for Your Word. Forgive me for being too busy and self absorbed in my own activities and neglecting to meditate on Your Word. I purpose to make fellowship with you and reading Your Word a priority. I love you, Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
