Have You Looked Into God’s Word?
“More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.”
Psalm 19:10

Ponder This
To a true believer, the Bible is precious. You cannot love God without loving His Word. If given the choice between all the treasures in this world and the Bible, I wouldn’t have to think for a moment. I would choose the Word of God. I would not have to think about it! Greater than gold is the Word of God! It is precious indeed.
A lady visited Yosemite. She said to the guide, “I only have an hour. What should I do if I only have an hour to see Yosemite?” He said, “If you want to see Yosemite and you only have an hour, I suggest you go sit down over there by the river and cry.” The lady would be unable to truly appreciate the depth and beauty of Yosemite in such a short time. As beautiful and wonderful as that park is, the Bible is better. Yet, many of us don’t take the time to explore it. The Bible is a treasure. We ought to love it.
- What is the most beautiful or desirable place you have ever visited?
- Why is the Bible even more beautiful and valuable than even the best place on Earth?
Practice This
Look up photos of some of the most beautiful places in creation. Reflect on the fact that the God who created these places has revealed Himself through His Word and has made this available to you.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
