Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – The Word Centered Life – Day 1 – Psalm 19-7-11 – God’s Word Is More Precious Than Gold – Growing As Disciples

The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.  The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.  The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.  They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.  By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. Psalm 19:7-11 (NIV)  

Your Work

That is exactly what I want you to do. What do you want me to do? I want you to do your work in me. Not only that, I want you to do your work for me and through me. Now, I want to be clear about something. What’s that? I want you to do your work in me, for me and through me, for your glory. I am not asking you to do something in, or for, or though me, for my own selfish purposes. I want to live a life that is good and right and pleasing to you. I want to know and love and follow and serve you with all that is within me. I want to live the life that you have called me to live. How do you suppose I will do my work in you? What instrument will I use to mold and shape your life? How will I make you able to know and love and follow and serve me with all that is within you? What role will you have in the work that I will do in you? Will you be a passive participant in the work I will do in, for, and through you? No, not at all, I will be a very active participant in you doing your work in, for, and through me. How so? Let me take a step back and answer your other questions. I’m listening. I know that you will use your word to change my heart and transform my mind. It is your word that you will use to mold and shape my life. You will revive me by your word. You will make me wise by your word. You will fill my life with joy as I take your word deep into my heart and mind and life. You will guard and guide my path by your word. Your word will warn me and keep me away from danger. I know that I will find great reward in hearing and obeying your word. Now, I am ready to answer your question. My role will be to come to meet with you in your word. My role will be to let your word dwell in me richly. My role will be to keep n hearing and obeying your word. Then I will know the reward of you molding and shaping me into to the person you have called me to be. Then I will know the reward of living the life you have called me to live. Yes, you will. Keeping on allowing my word to work in you, for you, and through you, for my glory. Yes, I will. That will be very good.

Lord, your word is more valuable than gold. Nothing is more important to me than your word. Revive me by your word. Make me wise by your word. Guard and guide the entire course of my life by your word. Use your word to work in me, for me and through me. Amen

The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.

My Next Step

You need my word. You need to hear all that I want to say to you. I’m here. I’m listening. What do you want to say to me? My word will supply what you need. What do I need? You tell me. Right now, I am weary and worn out. You have come to the right place. As you meet with me in my word I will revive your soul and refresh your life. What else do you need? I need guidance and direction. I’m not sure about my next steps in life. I don’t know where to go and what to do. I lack wisdom. I desperately need help. Are you asking me for help? Yes, I am. My word will give you wisdom. My word will give you guidance. My word will shed light on your path and help you to know your next steps in life. Will you let my word guide your life? Yes, I will. I know that there is much more that you want and need. I have been discouraged and depressed. I have been lacking in joy. That will happen when you allow yourself to become weary and worn out. As you meet with me in my word I will not only revive and refresh your soul. I will also fill you with joy. My joy will make your face radiant. My joy will brighten your eyes. My joy will fill you with hope today, tomorrow and forever. Do you want to live in my fullness of joy? Yes Lord, I do. Then come to me to meet with me in my word. Listen to all that I have to say to you. I’m here. I’m listening. That’s very good. 

You can trust in my word completely. You can rely on my word fully. My word is sweeter than honey. My word is more precious than silver or gold. Nothing in all of life is more valuable than my word. My word will protect your life. My word will guard you from danger. There is nothing more rewarding than living according to my word. There is nothing more important than listening to all that I have to say to you. Will you listen to me? Will you make my word your pursuit? Will you live your life according to my word? Yes Lord, I will.

Has my word already started to revive you? Is my word refreshing you? Is hearing my word giving you joy? Is my word showing you your next step in life? Yes to all that you have asked me. My next step in life is to keep on meeting with you in your word. That will be very good.

Lord, I trust your word. Your word guides my life and directs my steps. Your word gives me joy. You refresh and revive my life by your word. You warn me and make me wise by your word. Your word is more valuable than gold. I will follow and obey your word. Amen
