A Feast

How many of you just spent a few days feasting on delicious dishes that danced with your taste buds as you savored every bite?  I know I enjoyed some sweet time with my family and my in-laws and more than enjoyed a sweet piece of chocolate pie.  The pumpkin pie was ok. Not worth the calories a whole piece of it, so I took a couple of bites! No worries, I didn't just offend anyone by saying their pie wasn't great...well I guess I probably was offensive to Baker's Square.😃😃😃

So today, as I opened my bible to have my first quiet time of the day, I literally feasted on God's word.  There are few things I truly delight in. God. His Word. My hubby.  The kids.  My sisters and their families.  That is about it.  I mean really.  I really delight in these things.  God's Word is so precious to me sometimes, like now, I wanna just gobble it up like I did that Thanksgiving meal. I have a regular bible reading schedule and today's psalm was Psalm 19.

The instruction of the Lord is perfect,
renewing one’s life;
the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy,
making the inexperienced wise.

⁸ 

The precepts of the Lord are right,
making the heart glad;
the command of the Lord is radiant,
making the eyes light up.

⁹ 

The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever;
the ordinances of the Lord are reliable
and altogether righteous.

¹⁰ 

They are more desirable than gold—
than an abundance of pure gold;
and sweeter than honey,
which comes from the honeycomb.

¹¹ 

In addition, Your servant is warned by them;
there is great reward in keeping them.

Just take it in.  Savor. Every. Syllable....it renews our life.  It is trustworthy. It makes my heart glad.  Who doesn't wanna be glad??!!...it makes my eyes light up...ummm. I am aging, so radiance sounds pretyy good! It endures forever.  I am not much for instant gratification. Reliable.  More desirable than abundance of gold. I live in abundance. I have the Word of God. Sweeter than Honey. YUM! My reward, my rich and most desirous reward is keeping His Word.  Well, let me say I do fail at this, but the more I read, the more I treasure and store up His Word the more I understand His Sovereign grace.  Do you know that grace?  He says, "Come and feast!"  He says, "Find grace at my table." He invites us to sup with Him and to be found in His mercy. He wants us to seek Him and His Word and be satisfied in Him.  Just Him....a feast is laid out for you and I to delight in.  Would you join me?
