I will meditate on your precepts, and fix my eyes on your ways. Every time I go to Cades Cove I stop at this oak tree in the field at the Lawson House. I still remember the first time I noticed it. I had just started to go to the mountains for the expressed purpose of taking images. It stood alone in the field, big and strong. I love this tree and when talking to friends I call it “my tree.” I have seen it in every season. Sometimes I just drive by and stop for only a short time. Sometimes I walk through the field and touch it. I come in mid-day, morning, and evening. Each time I come I see something different and learn something new.
Repeat. Like every time I go to the cove and stop at this tree we must do the same thing with God’s word. Repeat. There will be times when we only read or remember a verse and times when we must study hard. Repeat - this is how we make God’s word a part of us. And unlike any other book we study God’s word is “alive and active, sharper than any double edged sword.” When we fix our eyes on God’s word we find a delight and joy in its promises and precepts. How do you spend time in God’s word? Prayer God We thank you for revealing your presence in your marvelous and mysterious word. Help us not to forget to spend time meditating on your word. Amen
