Psalm 119:62 "At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments."
Psalm 119:162 "I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil."
Psalm 119:175 "Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me."
The Bible is the only way we have to know the mind of God.
If I want to know God more intimately, I only need to read His Book to learn of Him.
Our churches, and our personal lives, begin to crumble when we mistakenly think that we can substitute activity for quiet time spent in God's Word.
"Right now we are in an age of religious complexity. The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart. The shallowness of our inner experience, the hollowness of our worship, and the servile imitations of the world which marks our promotional methods all testify that we, in this day, know God only imperfectly, and the peace of God scarcely at all. ~A. W. Tozer
The simplicity of Christ is found in the reading, studying and meditating upon His Word, the Holy Scriptures.
It is the very mind of God, in my language, and is accessible to me at any time. Thank God that I can still enjoy a freedom that is unknown to so many the world around.
On this election day, I pray that you are voting for a candidate who will not only uphold the truths of God's Word, but one that will work to ensure our freedom to own and read that Word in this great country of ours.
God bless America and thank You, Lord, for Your perfect, infallible, inspired Word!
Blessings,
