Good morning!
Welcome to your morning coffee! May our Heavenly Father help us to take a moment and reflect on how we treat our Bibles. Father, are we reading your Word that you have given to us the way that you want us to? Are we eating and drinking of it, and being nourished? Are we living daily by its light? Or do we read our Bibles darkly and dimly, in pseudo-obedient nibbles? It is little wonder, Father, that so many of us are famished though full. It is little wonder, Father, that so many of us walk around in broad daylight, with so many stubbed toes. Father, the name of Jesus, by the Spirit, help us to reexamine our Bible reading today, repent, adjust, and try again. Amen!

Your Morning Scripture: Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
...
You wake up in the middle of the night. It has been storming, but seems to have died down. It is dark. You flip the light switch on the wall. It flickers on, for just a moment and then goes dark again. Power out? The light flickers again, just a moment of light. You sigh. This isn't going to smooth or easy. A little bit of light here and there, for a blink of an eye? Ugh. Here come stubbed toes. And you'll have to go slow. And you hope that cat doesn't hide on one of the stairs again. The light flickers on and then off again. Great.
God's Word is a lamp unto our feet, and a light to our path, helping us to navigate our daily living well.
How's that going for you? What kind of habits do you have when it comes to reading your Bible?
Are you in the Word daily? Are you discussing it with others? Are you using it to help you pray? Do you have any of it memorized? Are you reading deeply and richly so that from your inner life to your outer life everything is bright and clear?
Or do you read only a bit here and there, hoping that each blinking flicker of the light of God's Word will be enough to make you feel Christian enough?
We could learn something from bugs at night. They are drawn to light with a single-minded intensity, a need, a must have that ought to be similar to how we feel about the light of God's Word.
It is so easy to be lazy in our Bible reading. It is a temptation we all face, busyness, forgetfulness, laziness, disinterest, whatever it might be. But we must face these temptations with the truth. That a moment of God's Word is not enough. We must run to the light. We must let ourselves be fully and constantly illuminated, every day, with the intentional reading and considering of God's Word.
The light of God's Word
is the one light in the house
that should always be left on.
