  ‘Eat’ the Word! Memorize and Meditate “ Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts. ” (Jeremiah 15:16) This verse says something very important about the Word of God: Jeremiah ate the Word. It became his heart’s delight. That means he thought about it all the time. He SOAKED his heart in it! Soak your Heart Jeremiah sets the example for us. David said God’s Word was more precious to him than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. Job said he treasured God’s Word more than his necessary food. These men thought about God’s Word – perhaps more than they thought about anything else. God’s Word gives life. It cleanses. It gives light so we can see things from God’s perspective. It is living and powerful. It works in those who receive it and believe it. Sow to the Spirit Pray and recite today’s verse to the Lord. Emulate Job and David by treasuring God’s Word, and realizing the val...

  Introduction Exodus 4:1–17: Moses continues to voice objections to his divine commission, prompting God to grant him miraculous powers and appoint Moses’s brother, Aaron, as his spokesperson. Today’s Key Verse: Exodus 4:11a, 12 GNT The LORD said to [Moses]: “Who gives man his mouth? … Now, go! I will help you to speak, and I will tell you what to say.” Read 4  Then Moses answered the Lord, “But suppose the Israelites do not believe me and will not listen to what I say. What shall I do if they say that you did not appear to me?” 2  So the Lord asked him, “What are you holding?” “A walking stick,” he answered. 3  The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.” When Moses threw it down, it turned into a snake, and he ran away from it.  4  Then the Lord said to Moses, “Reach down and pick it up by the tail.” So Moses reached down and caught it, and it became a walking stick again.  5  The Lord said, “Do this to ...

  The Fountain of Life Memorize and Meditate “ It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. ” (John 6:63) We need Jesus Christ’s Word for life, for they are the way the Spirit of God works inside of us. His Word is living and powerful, and it works inside those who receive it as the Word of God and trust it to work in them. In fact, when it is humbly planted in one’s heart, the Word of God is able to save the soul. Soak your Heart No wonder the Word tells us to desire the “milk” of the Word as newborn babes so we can grow up in our salvation. Without food a baby cannot grow. Without the Word of God we cannot grow in the knowledge and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. As we soak our heart in the Word of God, we grow from the increase that comes from God. Sow to the Spirit Let us acknowledge in our prayers that it is God’s Word that gives power for living the Christian life. Let us acknowledge that our flesh, i...

  He Knows You “The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knows those who take refuge in Him.” —Nahum 1:7 Father God is omniscient; He knows everybody. But I’m not talking about Him knowing us in the objective sense. I’m talking about Him knowing us intimately and tenderly. He resists the proud, but He knows everyone who seeks to take refuge in Him with a sincere and humble heart. When we come to Abba as a child, He stoops down because He is tender and sensitive. When we come to Him to take refuge in Him, He meets us in that place. He knows us. The Lord is looking to and fro across the earth for someone who will come to Him and truly rely on Him to be their God. As you and I come to the Lord with our weaknesses, with our problems, with our needs, with our sin, with our fears and everything else that concerns us, and we open our souls to Him, looking to Him to be our help, He is eager to be our Helper. You can be assured not just that He knows who you are in a gen...

  God’s Favor is Life! Memorize and Meditate “ For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the Lord. ” (Proverbs 8:35) Wisdom is what you and I want to find. If we find the right kind of wisdom we find life and favor from God. We know the wisdom of the world is foolishness to God. We know the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. We know the wisdom of this world and the rulers of this world are coming to nothing. So we have a decision to make. Soak your Heart We want to soak our heart in the wisdom of God because it transforms the way we think and our attitude about what is going on in this world. The world seeks all that is in the process of perishing. We seek an imperishable crown. Sow to the Spirit Solomon asked for wisdom. Moses asked God to show him his ways, so he could know him and find grace and favor in God’s sight. This is what differentiates us from the rest of the world: God’s grace and favor. We seek that wisdom from above, becau...

  Put Others First “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves.” —Philippians 2:3 This is a really challenging word because the flesh is naturally selfish. That’s true for me, and it’s true for you. To give you an example, consider this question. When you get hungry, do you eat for somebody else or for yourself? You eat for yourself. When you sleep, do you sleep for somebody else or for yourself? You see, by nature, the flesh is selfish; it seeks to provide for its own needs. And while on the earth we will always have an animal or fleshly nature. It is part of our makeup. This is true of all of us, but God is asking us to transcend the power of the flesh and our own naturally selfish disposition and practice serving other people, even though it might not feel good to us. Let’s remember, however, that just because it doesn’t feel good to us doesn’t mean it’s not the right thing to do. Philippians 2:4 t...
