Sunday's Specialty

Psalm 119:11

 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Good morning, and a Special Sunday may it be for all of us!

The Word of God, the Bible, is absolutely the most precious book in the world to me. I'm grateful that I grew up in a time when the Bible was read daily in our home, and then we were strongly admonished to carry it to church with us at service time. My heart aches when I see so many who rely on screens at church to show them the scriptures being read, and there is no physical book in their hands.

The Psalmist David wrote about hiding God's Word in his heart because he knew it would keep him from sinning against God. We must follow David's example and hide it in our hearts; not in our houses or within our hands for there it can be easily taken away; not in our heads because memories fade as time passes. If the Word of God is hidden away in our hearts, pressed there by daily use, molding our lives after it, then it will be safe.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

¹⁶ All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

¹⁷ That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Everything within the Bible is there for our good. Read and study every day, applying these precious and powerful words to our lives. We need it now more than ever before.

My children grew up listening to Psalty the Singing Songbook, and one song from that time is on my mind today. It's actually a little lengthy so I'll just share the chorus, but search for it and listen to it entirely and you'll be blessed.

The Bible Alphabet Song

by Psalty - Kids' Praise 5 Album

I'm gonna hide God's Word in my heart,

It's a lamp unto my feet.

I'm gonna read God's Word every day,

It's my food, my bread and meat.

I'm gonna stand on the truth of the Bible,

I'm gonna open my eyes,

I'm gonna memorize.

May your Sunday be Special, and I know it will be if we hear God's Word preached today, and hide it in our hearts.

God bless you today and, if He's willing, I'll see you again tomorrow!
