‘…encourage me by your word…’ (Psalm 119:28)
How often do we take time out of our busy lives to read and meditate on the Word of God – and how long do we spend doing so when we do? Today there are a multitude of Bible Study Notes and Daily Reflections for us to choose from, either in booklet form, on line or via an app – and of course even without any of these, there is nothing to stop us from taking our Bibles each day and spending some quiet time with God reflecting on His word. It’s important that we do so, not only to edify our own personal faith and to find this kind of encouragement that the Psalmist speaks of, but also because the more time we spend with the Lord in this way, the more it shows through in our everyday lives and the more we do this, the greater our witness to His name.
