I spent some time in Psalm 119 this morning and was challenged and encouraged by the writer’s affection and desire for the Word of God. Here are a few things he said about it:

I open my mouth and pant, because I long for your commandments.

In the way of your testimonies I delight as much as in all riches.

Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.

I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart.

Incline my heart to your testimonies and not to selfish gain.

Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.

Better than the turkey and dressing you’ll gobble up tomorrow and sweeter than any piece of pumpkin pie is the Word of God.

Sometimes things get crazy when we get home and get to hang out with our families. My challenge to you is to take a few minutes away to FEAST from God’s Word this Thanksgiving Break. It is the meal that always satisfies and never leaves you feeling bloated!

When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight… Jer 15:16

For His glory,
