As the deer pants

"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God." Psalm 42:1. Do you desire God's Word as much as you do rest after a hard day? God uses His Word to feed our souls, to give our souls comfort, to give us peace and correction when necessary. God's Word is our compass, it is the light for our path. We need to be in His Word every single day. We should desire His Word more than anything else. We should be in it as much as possible, the more we read it, the more [...]

Not what you think

"This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham:" Matthew 1:1. Sometimes we get bored reading the genealogies found in the Bible. Reading who begat who seems like a waste of time at first glance, but God always has a reason for what He does. God has a reason for recording these family trees in the Bible.

Reading vs studying

It is one thing to read God's Word and another to study it. I've been going through the Old Testament lately and I just finished the book of Judges, yet, in the last few chapters particularly, it felt like I wasn't studying as I should have. I am going to go back and go over those last few chapters again, because when I read God's Word, I want to actually take it in and study it. I've heard people say about those who don't listen, "what they hear goes in one ear and out the other." Sometimes when we read God's [...]
