Psalm 119:105-112 || Ep. 934 - Taking the Bible Seriously

The Dwelling Richly Podcast

🌟 We're diving into the 14th section of Psalm 119, focusing on the Hebrew letter "nun." We'll explore how God's word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, helping us navigate life's challenges with wisdom and grace. We'll talk about the importance of taking God's word seriously, swearing an oath to keep His righteous rules, and how this commitment can transform our lives. Plus, I'll share a little about my own experiences and some cool insights into the Hebrew alphabet.

Do you take it seriously? How would you answer these questions:

1. I read and meditate on God's Word daily.
2. I take my Bible - an actual physical Bible - to church and Bible study.
3. I Memorize the Word
4. I have taken an oath to keep God's rules

Dwelling in the Word and letting the Word dwell in us richly is different than reading the Bible or reading a devotional with Bible passages. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly and return the favor by dwelling in the Word - not "doing" Bible study, not simply reading - but moving into the Word with heart, soul, mind, and strength. It's being intentional in making a shift from treating the Word of God like a self-help book to letting it dwell in us as the living Word of God that it is.

Growing Deeper...

• Meditate on God’s Word Daily: Don’t just read the Bible—take time to meditate on it throughout your day. Reflect deeply on what you read, allowing the Scriptures to influence your thoughts, actions, and decisions.
• Commit Scripture to Memory: This will help you have His wisdom readily available whenever you need guidance.
• Apply Scripture to Life’s Challenges: Use God’s word both offensively and defensively in your life. Let it guide your decisions and actions, and rely on it for strength and protection in spiritual battles.
• Take an Oath: ...to God alone to faithfully revere and regularly be in His Word. Consider taking this oath with a friend.
