James 1:19-21 speaks of how to receive the Word of God: in submission, in purity, and in humility. One of the greatest passages in Scripture about Scripture is Psalm 119. As I read this Psalm, here are some of the reflections of my heart, as it relates to my desire to receive God's Word correctly:
There are great blessings for those who rightly receive and obey God's Word.
God's Word is the weapon with which we fight temptation
It is the light that shows us the way, the path, in this life
It is God's: testimonies, laws, precepts, statutes, rules, commandments, ways, words
I will meditate on God's Word and allow it to fill my thoughts and rest in my heart
In loving God's Word and applying it, there is hope, there if comfort, there is encouragement, regardless of what challenges I face
closing prayer - Psalm 119:172 - "My tongue will sing of your word, for all your commandments are right."
