Psalm 19:8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;

There are many things in life that we do not like doing, and straightening out our lives is one of them. When we are caught up in things we like to stay there just because we feel some safety in our bad situations; getting out of those situations always seems hard and painful.

God’s Word is designed to give us the encouragement that we need in order to help us out of those deep holes. God’s Word gives us a new hope to look toward, one that will allow us to aim for a better life without having to face all the horrible things along the way.

Yes we may have to face a few consequences, but the road will be a lot better after that.

Psalm 119:140 Your word is very pure; Therefore Your servant loves it.

I don’t read many books and I don’t watch too many films; the main reason for that now is that I don’t much like the language that is used and the ways of the world. When I was at school I hated reading and did anything to get out of it, but now it’s a choice I make to keep my head a bit clearer.

There is nothing worse than having garbage chucked at you from all angles, or being forced to listen to bad or corrupt things when you want a clear head.

God’s Word is very pure, and though it contains some pretty horrible events, it continues to bring us back for more by encouraging us back. I love it and read it every day; you should too.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

One of the most amazing things I find about the bible is that it can encourage me more than any other book, but it can also cut me down to size just by me reading the words. I have only found one person in my life that has the same effect as that, besides God that is.

But that is what the bible is; it is God’s words down in writing so that we can know what He wants in our lives. Just the words that are written will be able to slice and dice us better than any chef’s knife and better than any cheese grater. And the words will go deep into our hearts and work on us from the inside out…
