Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the Lord. – Isaiah 2:5
When receiving a letter from a close friend we usually find ourselves doing two things: first, reading the letter with interest—hanging on every word; and second, reading the letter a second and in some cases a third time—hoping each time to gain insight or catch something that might have been missed previously.
Who wants to be closer to us than God? The same should be true with regard to God’s Word, and by reading that message intently and repeatedly, we can get to know Him truly and more accurately.
In Psalm 119, David likens Scripture to a lamp for our feet and a light for our path. You need to keep God’s Word close by and read it often. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself walking in darkness. And if that happens, you’re sure to stumble and fall.
Remember, God’s Word, the Bible, is a series of letters from your closest friend. Read them closely. Read them often. And after you read it once, read it again!
– Steve Arterburn
You can’t have a light without a dark to stick it in. – Arlo Guthrie
