21 Days Of Thanksgiving- Thankful For The Gift of God’s Word.

Joshua 1vs 8 — And don’t for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you’ll get where you’re going; then you’ll succeed. (MSG)

DAY 12

How can a young person stay pure? By obeying the word (Psalm 119 vs 9). God has given us the gift of his word and it’s something I have learnt to embrace. Before, I wasn’t the read the Bible everyday type of person even when I knew about Joshua 1 vs 8 — And don’t let the book of the law depart from your mouth. Yes, I know about the stories in the Bible and most of the basic lessons from the book, but I never meditated on the word.

God carefully gave His Word over several centuries and through several writers and leaders so that I can be led in the right way. I started meditating on God’s words every day. I found comfort in a lot of passages. I got to understand that I didn’t understand several things about the world and just probably felt I knew it all.

Today I have decided to make it a tradition to always read my Bible; as I now know that God speaks to me through his word. I get to write what I feel every day and things I’ve learnt while meditating. I also found that it’s not only reading and writing but also making sure I practice what I have read and input it in my everyday life.

So far, I have been enjoying the journey of reading the word of God; I am always eager to learn something new or find new passages, and I have been greatly comforted. So I am thankful that the word of God exists, and I have found comfort.
