Here is today’s Bible Reading:  Genesis 46:1-47:31; Matthew 15:1-28; Psalm 19:1-14; Proverbs 4:14-19.

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

One of the good things about trials in this life is that the Word of God comes alive during those times in a way that it is different than when you are cruising along comfortably.  Rather than time in the Word being a discipline, it is a treat.  Rather than being something you feel obligated to do, it is something you can’t wait to do.  It becomes your lifeline.  And it does not disappoint.
