Made to Consume

(Psa 119:11 KJV)  Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

(Proverbs 30 also read)

The “word” (565) is not given to us to be like an artifact in a museum.  Don’t get the wrong idea about “treasured” (6845).  It is costly.  It is unique.  It is to be used.  Think of the Bible as a canteen of water as you are on a hike through the desert not like a bottle of some rare wine to be climate controlled and locked away in the basement.  It’s value is in its use.

This is one of the problems with the way some people do “devotions”.  They think that if they read a chapter a day then they have been into the word.  If it doesn’t get into your active treasure trove then it is like a well stocked pantry that you are never allowed to eat from.

So?  Today is a good day to start.  If you have already read your quota for the day and it did not touch your heart, go back and take another look.  God is waiting.
