Song of Solomon 1-4, 1 Corinthians 12: 27-31, Psalm 119: 89-96
Psalm 119: 92-93 (ESV)
“If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished
in my affliction. I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have given
me life.”
Verses 92 and 93 from Psalm 119 shows us that the Psalmist knew
that without knowledge of the words in the Bible, people of faith would perish
in their season of affliction. The Psalmist tells us that the words of God in
the Bible has given him life, and he will never forget them. This is my hope
for my yearly journey of reading the Bible in a year daily – that the word of
God is always fresh in my mind no matter what kind of season it is for me. If
it’s a good season, I can praise God in my reading of the Bible. If it’s a
season of affliction, the Bible helps me to keep focused on God and remember
his promises to his followers that have always bene fulfilled. And even on just
blah days where nothing good or bad is going on in my life, reading the Bible
helps me to deepen my relationship with God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
