Week 1
I've wanted to do this for a long time. But, seriously, 176 verses is a lot!
Last week, Josiah and I decided to do it.
There are 22 'sections' (about 7-10 verses each). We'll learn one section each week.
I'll also try to come up with an extra 'something' (for lack of a better word, of course!) for each section that we can do to apply the verses to our lives.
Week 2
"How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to Your Word. I seek You with all my heart; do not let me stray from Your commands. I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You. Praise be to You, Oh Lord; teach me Your decrees. With my lips I recount all the laws that come from Your mouth. I rejoice in following Your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. I meditate on Your precepts and consider Your ways. I delight in Your decrees; I will not neglect Your Word."
Application (aren't you proud of me? I finally remembered the word I wanted...)
Think it through...apply it to your life!
- Are there areas in my life that are not pure or pleasing to God? What am I going to do about it? How are you going to truly live according to His Word this week? this month?
Look at all the
verbs:
- What are ways that I can actively know/seek God?
- How can I actively worship and rejoice in the Lord?
