Saturday Reading: Psalm 19:7-10
Key Verse: Psalm 19:7
7 The Law of The LORD is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making the simple wise.
Devotion:
No matter what sort of things you try to study in order to make you life better, easier or more successful, nothing is going to benefit you more than God’s Word! People rely on all manner of things before they rely on the bible just because they don’t want to have to follow the whole bible... People turn to astrology, nature, other people and scientific theories because none of them will give the whole picture; each one will give people the leverage to go and do their own thing when they want to...
God’s Word is not about restraining you so that you cannot live life nor tying you down to living a life alone; God’s Word is about moulding you back into the proper shape that God designed you in. As we go through life we get all manner of bashes and bruises and those tend to change the way we are sometimes making us bitter about what is happening. Each one of those has pushed us slightly more out of shape from our original mould that God created us with. When we get back to knowing and following God’s will through reading His Word, we start to get moulded back into the shape by the original designer – what could be better than that?
Yes I would like a whole bunch of money to pay for all manner of things, but life is not all about that. Life is more about how we live and how we affect others through the way we live. Life is about living with God and preparing for eternity with Him. If we ignore Him and live for the earth, when we do die we are left with nothing toward our life with Him but a whole bunch of stuff we have to leave behind. If you wanted to go on a long journey would you rather chose a limousine that has no petrol, a sports car with no engine or a family car that has everything as well as breakdown cover?
Points to Ponder:
What do you hanker after?
Are you letting God remould you?
