Summer Vibes | Draw Close to Godಮಾದರಿ

Have you ever done something so much during the day that when you go to sleep at night you literally dream about it? (When I was training to work at Subway, at night I would literally be making sandwiches in my sleep.)

David actually wrote about this in Psalm 1:2: But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.

For a lot of us, meditation is a word that conjures ideas about sitting down "criss-cross applesauce" and humming. But meditate really just means to “engage in thought”

We think about stuff we like! Spending time in the Bible helps us ‘like’ it better – which then makes it easier to ‘engage in thought’ about it more often.

If we turn to God’s Word, look at all it can do:

2 Timothy 3:16 tells us that Scripture can

• Teach us what is true

• Help us realize what is wrong

• Correct us when we are wrong

• Teach us to do what is right

So blessed is the man who delights in the law (or the word) of the Lord.

Most of us aren’t quite to the point where we are thinking about it ‘day and night’ – but we should be engaging with God's Word on the regular to develop a love for all Jesus wants to teach us through the Bible!

There’s only one more day in this study. Try picking another study to hop into after this one concludes or consider picking a book of the Bible to start reading! Just a few verses a day will help you build the habit!!

Be like Jesus. Love the Word of God!
