We Are Writing The Story Of Our Lives

Do we realize that each day, we are writing the story of our lives by what we say and do? As we are writing this story, are we using the great, but often neglected, wealth of the Bible? The Psalmist wrote: “I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, as much as in all riches ….. Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law” (Psalm 119:14,18).

The Bible is the written record through which we get to know and obey Jesus Christ, “in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3), and its nuggets of truth are available to us all (Psalm 19:7-11).

A life well-lived is directly related to a Bible well-read (Genesis 5:24; Hebrews 11:5; cf. 2 Timothy 3:14-15).

Beloved, as we live out our life story each day, let us take advantage of tapping into the treasure of God’s Word every day (Psalm 1:1-2; Acts 17:11).
