Experiencing Jesus Together Through LentSample

Day 19:
Scripture:
“With my lips I proclaim all the judgments of Your mouth. I rejoice in the way of Your testimonies as much as in all riches.I will meditate on Your precepts and regard Your ways. I will delight in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.” Psalms 119:13-16 Berean Study Bible

A Call To: Meditate
Proclaiming the truth of God's Word is an honor. But, preaching God's Word to ourselves is what changes us and gives us credibility to share about Jesus with our inner circle. David Martyn Lloyd-Jones says it this way: "Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?"

When you have a moment, write these phrases from Psalm 119 and ask the Holy Spirit to help you personalize each statement. 

"With my lips I proclaim..." 

"I rejoice in..."

"I will meditate on..."

"I will delight in..."

"I will not forget..."

As you speak to yourself, faith and hope will arise because your God sees your determination not to forget His word.

Reflection:
What is an area in your life where you have been listening to yourself instead of preaching God's Word to yourself?

Praise + Prayer:
Jesus, I rejoice in such great salvation, and I meditate on Your sacrifice. I will not listen to my emotions or the messages that tell me I don't have enough. I delight in You!
