The Ten Commandments declare God’s moral law. Proverbs provides wisdom and insight for living. The historical books and the Prophets reveal God’s presence in history. The gospels tell the story of Jesus’ earthly ministry, His death, and His resurrection. All of this is critically important if we are to discern God’s will and live a life pleasing to the Lord.

“Open my eyes that I may see wonderful thing in your law…My soul is consumed with longing for your laws at all times…Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors.”

— Psalm 119:18, 20, and 24 (NIV 1984)

Father God, give us an insatiable hunger for Your Word. Inspire us to read it, to meditate on it, and to memorize it. Remind us that it is food for our soul and that it is to be obeyed and not simply admired. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
