This year is already moving fast. I encourage you to take time NOW, while the year is still young to remember to reflect on God’s Word that He has given us. Psalm 1 says that the man that meditates on the word of God day and night shall be like a tree planted by the waters. His roots will grow deep and he will be fed by the nearby waters filled with enriching minerals. Add to that the splendor of the sun shining upon him, his green leaves will shoot forth and the fruit he was intended to grow will prosper on his branches.
One thing my wife and I have learned is to write Bible verses on large sheets of paper and post them in prominent places around the house as a reminder of God’s love, faithfulness, and promises that are ours for the claiming. If you don’t have one already in mind, start this tradition with this one. You won’t believe the difference it will make in your life.
THE LORD is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.
He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.
He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him--not for my earning it, but] for His name's sake.
Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.
Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.
