MEDITATION VERSE:<br />

YOUR WORD IS A LAMP TO GUIDE<br />

MY FEET AND A LIGHT FOR MY<br />

PATH. PSALM 119:105<br />

If you want to grow strong in your faith, dig into<br />

the Scriptures. The truth of Scripture doesn’t<br />

just give us information, it nourishes us and<br />

transforms our lives. When we receive truth,<br />

we begin to live according to that truth. It<br />

impacts our attitudes and actions.<br />

The Scriptures tell the story of<br />

God’s interaction with humanity.<br />

It tells the many ways God tried<br />

to get us to connect with His love.<br />

So when we read Scripture, we<br />

can get to know <strong>Jesus</strong> better. We<br />

can learn how to live as He would<br />

if He were in our place.<br />

If you’ve ever read something,<br />

but then forgot what you read, you know how<br />

important it is to do more than simply skim<br />

through Scripture. Memorizing and meditating<br />

on scripture strengthens us by teaching<br />

us who <strong>Jesus</strong> is and gives us guidance on<br />

how to live as <strong>Jesus</strong> people.<br />

...WHEN<br />

WE READ<br />

SCRIPTURE,<br />

WE CAN GET<br />

TO KNOW<br />

JESUS<br />

BETTER.
