Dwelling with God's Word

May Our Eyes Stay Wide Open 

Psalms 119:148 states: "My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises. When has a Bible verse stuck with you during a season of life? Saturating our minds with Scripture keeps us focused on the things of God.  We face a constant barrage of messages competing for our thoughts, attention, and allegiance; but how many of them are truly worthy of our time? We benefit greatly when we regularly meditate on the truths in Scripture. "Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers (Psalm 1;1-13) 

LORD, forgive me a sinner who has fallen short of your glory. O that I may keep my eyes open to your promises every hour of my life. O that I would continually meditate on your words of truth. Your words are healing to my soul and full of grace. Your word calls us blessed when we do not stand in the way of sinners and mockers but delight in your law. Because of you you make those that love your law to prosper. Because of you I have eternal life. For it by grace I have been saved through faith in Jesus Christ and is not by my own doing. It is a gift from God. Thank you for your saving grace. It is Jesus name I pray. Amen.
