Riches in the Word





The bible contains great riches for those of us who are willing to read it and allow God's teaching to permeate our hearts.  God's teaching renews are minds (get's us out of bad thinking), increases faith and encourages us to develop a closer relationship with Him.  If we choose to neglect to seek the Lord, we will always be spiritually hungry and never satisfied.

The key is to meditate on Scripture.  Go slow and take your time to allow the word to work in you.  There is treasure in making this practice a part of you daily routine.

"How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers.  But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he mediates day and night.  He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers.  The wicked are not so but they are like chaff which the wind drives away."  Psalm 1:1-4
