‘So
that your trust may be in the Lord, I teach you today, even you’
(Proverbs 22:19). Lord, there are many people who say, ‘It’s not for
me’. They know that others have been greatly blessed through reading
God’s Word. Still, they do not take the trouble to read Your Word for
themselves. They can’t be bothered. Receiving God’s blessing doesn’t
really matter that much to them. Help us, Lord, not to miss out on Your
blessing. Your Word is for every one of us. It’s not just for somebody
else. To each one of us, You say, ‘It’s for you – ‘even you’.
Some people say, ‘I’ll read God’s Word tomorrow’. When ‘tomorrow’ comes
around, they’re still saying the same thing – ‘I’ll read God’s Word
tomorrow’! Sadly, their ‘tomorrow’ never comes. They never get round to
reading God’s Word. They’re missing out on so much. Help us not to
say, ‘I’ll leave it till tomorrow’. Help us to read Your Word ‘today’.
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
