Feeding Daily on the Word
"How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word."
Psalm 119:9
"I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands."
Psalm 119:10
"I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."
Psalm 119:11
God has designed our lives so that we are nutritionally sound spiritually by feeding daily on His Word. The psalmist raises the question in verse 9.

Verse 9: "How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word."

Jeremiah 15:16: "When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O Lord God Almighty" (NIV)

1 Peter 2:2-3: "like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord" (NASB).

God uses the spiritual disciplines to bring about change in our lives. Our foundational principal is: Change produces greater closeness and compatibility. Your world has to change before you can change the world. We are pursuing the path of the tools God uses in making us more like Christ.

C. H. Spurgeon said: "Nothing can be more healthful to the soul of the believer than feeding upon the Word, and digesting it by frequent meditation."

Verse 10: "I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands."

Not only the decision to be feeding daily upon the Word, but also with a holy determination that the Spirit of God will lead us in straight paths. We have the promise in Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" (NIV).

The psalmist is passionate about his search. "I seek you with all my heart."

Verse 11: "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."

In order to be ready for an opportunity to minister with the Word, we need to memorize it so we can call upon it immediately in any given situation.

Change always creates a greater closeness, both spiritually with our Lord and physically in our marriage relationship.

My heart is overwhelmed with God's faithfulness and good ness to us. Please join me this morning by singing the first verse of "How Firm a Foundation":
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
