Reading for Day 23
September 23

Col. 1:24 - Col. 2:5
Psalm 19:1-14
Prov. 4:14-19

Psalm 19 is so fascinating. It starts with the general revelation of God through the creation, verses 1-7. It then goes to the special revelation of God through the Bible, verses 8-11. Lastly it goes on to talk about the personal revelation that comes to us through the work of the Holy Spirit, verses 12-14.

So to apply this Psalm, I will look up into the blue sky and take notice of the beautiful green trees whose leaves are starting to turn color. The more I read about the intricate design of creation the more I marvel at the handiwork of God.

Then I will take time to read the Bible. I want to have my soul converted, to become wise, to rejoice deep within and to have my eyes enlightened. It is truly more valuable than gold.

Lastly, I will meditate on what I read and allow the Holy Spirit to do the work of personal application within me. I know that it takes God’s work to help hidden things get rooted out and dealt with.

Lastly, I come to one of my most prayed prayers. A prayer in times of weakness, of temptation, or to start the day off right.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.

God reaches out to me in the big picture of creation. He speaks very clearly through His Word. He also speaks so personally to me as I meditate on scripture in His presence. Thank God for these truths.
