Genesis 1 & 2, Matthew 1, Psalm 1
Psalm 1: 1-3
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the
wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but
his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and
night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in
its season, and its leaf does not wither.”
This is my 4th year of reading the Bible in a
year, and I can honestly say I feel blessed by God as is described in verses 1 through
3 from Psalm 1. Reading the bible daily has strengthened my relationship with
God, and that was and still is my yearly goal. I’m not sure I have true delight
in the law of the Lord, which is something I constantly try to improve on in my
life. Reading the Bible every day has also made my faith like a tree, growing
deep roots in my life. The daily dwelling in God’s word has nourished me, and
the fruit that comes from it is the recognition of the many blessings and
miracles God has given me and continues to bestow on me in my life. If truth be
told, my leaves of faith still wither around the edges now and again as I go through
the daily trials and burdens of my life. But I am thankful my leaves of faith do
not fall off, but miraculously regrow and become strong again. I owe this
renewal to my daily Bible readings, so I am proud once again to dwell daily in
God’s word and I look forward to seeing what verses will cause me to ponder
more deeply God’s love for me.
