How Much Do You Love It?

Psalm 119:165 Great peace have those who love Your law, And nothing causes them to stumble.
I am going to ask a question that I want you to answer, to yourself, and to God, honestly. How much time, if any, do you spend reading/studying God's Word (the Bible)? How much time you spend in it should tell you how much you love it. The more time you take to read/study it, the more you'll love it. Why? Because it is the one place we, as born again believers, will find the heart of God. It is where we will learn who God is, not according to man, but according to God Himself. It is where we find the answers to life, and what sustains us when we are facing trying times. It reminds us to pray without ceasing, and give thanks always. It reminds us that we need to draw near to God so that our enemy, the devil, will flee. It reminds us that God is always with us, no matter the circumstances. It reminds us that we, as human beings, can be angry, sad, hurt, bit still not sin in our anger, or allow our sorrow, and hurt, take over our emotions to the point of causing us to doubt God. It is where we are reminded that we are to bring all our cares, and concerns, to God, who cares for us, and is the source of that joy, that only He can give, and the peace that passes all understanding. So you see, we cannot neglect the Word of God and survive for too long before the world, Satan, and the circumstances of life, get to us. It does not matter how much of the Bible we think we know, we should never put aside the Living Word of God, that the Holy Spirit uses, in our life, to guide us, and help us keep our eyes where they belong, on Jesus.
