Fleeing to the Word of God

 Psalm 12:6

And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times.

            The above verse is from a song that David composed to remind God’s people that we can be certain of the Lord’s protection and comfort.  Where do we flee to receive such help?  The Word of God!

Lord, Your words are water living

When my thirsting spirit pleads.

Lord, Your words are bread life giving

On Your words my spirit feeds

Lord, Your words will be my light

Through death’s cold and dreary night

Yes, they are my sword prevailing

And my cup of joy unfailing!

 

            As you read, pray and meditate upon this week’s Psalms, you might also pray the following collect that they church has prayed for centuries:

 

            Blessed Lord, since You have caused all Holy Scripture to be written for our learning, grant that we may so hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.  Amen.

 

            God bless your time spent in His flawless, pure and perfect Word!
