7 Days and Counting…

Posted on 27. Jan, 2009 by Josh Agerton in Formation

Been feverishly working in these last weeks to finalize the content for our Journey Bible Class that starts next week at Cornerstone.  This first 5 week session will be “How to Study the Bible.”  In all this work of preparation I have found that it is doing something in me.  I’m again remembering just how incredible God’s word it…it’s wisdom, its beauty, its ability to speak truth into our lives.  I love how David puts it in Psalm 19:

7 The instructions of the Lord are perfect,
reviving the soul.
The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The commandments of the Lord are right,
bringing joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are clear,
giving insight for living.
9 Reverence for the Lord is pure,
lasting forever.
The laws of the Lord are true;
each one is fair.
10 They are more desirable than gold,
even the finest gold.
They are sweeter than honey,
even honey dripping from the comb.
11 They are a warning to your servant,
a great reward for those who obey them.

His Word revives the soul, gives light to the eyes, brings joy to the heart!  I love it.  It is sweeter than honey…honey from the comb.

Lord I pray that you birth a new hunger in me and in our church for your Word.  May we meditate on it day and night.
