“But my heart stands in awe of Thy words. I rejoice at Thy word, as one who finds great spoil.” (Psalm 119: 161b-162)
We all need motivation sometimes. One of my son-in-laws and I have recently been discussing scripture memorization. Something I used to do a lot of but over the years had gotten away from.
I recently found the above scripture while studying I John 2:14 and thought it was the perfect motivation to restart scripture memorization. If the psalmist could say this of the Old Testament, how should we, born again believers, feel about the New Testament’s
“…precious and exceedingly great promises…” that are given us “…in order that through these you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped by flight the corruption which is in the world in the sphere of passionate carvings.” (II Peter 1: 4 Wuest)
If need be, may these scriptures motivate you like it did me to restart hiding the Word of Life in your heart. It is eternal and unchanging because He is eternal and unchanging. And you and I as born again believers are eternal! Think on that today.
Have a blessed day.
