Psalm 119:164 Obsessed

Seven times a day I praise you
for your righteous laws. 

Psalm 119:164

You can read the Bible.

Or you can apply yourself to being a student of God's righteous laws.

You can make the Word your obsession, the habit you turn to every chance you get.

You can open the pages of God's revelation not just once a week on Sundays, not just every morning before breakfast, but frequently and repeatedly throughout your day.

You can simply peruse the scriptures or you can wrestle with it, deal with it, allow it to use its sharp edge on your heart, eagerly open yourself wide to allow the Word to judge the thoughts and attitudes of your heart.

Like David says, seven times a day you can be so absorbed by your encounter with God's laws that you cannot help but sing and shout out your praise and gratitude for the way the Lord has opened His heart to us for inspection and transformation.

Repetition and habit, digging deep and bathing in righteousness, builds a depth of wisdom and experience to carry you through every day and through your whole life.
