For it is no empty word for you,

     but your very life.

            Deuteronomy 32. 47

(God's Word reorders our minds,

        our hearts and our loves.

Marinating in scripture changes us

     more than we can know.

If we knew how deeply

      God speaks to us through it,

we would not take His Word

                      so lightly.)

       

O LORD,

Thank You for Your Word

and how You so powerfully use it

in our hearts and souls and minds.

And even how it radically

         affects everyone around us.

May Your Word soften our hearts

    and strengthen our love for You.

You do not just teach us how to love,

    but You love us through it.

You transform not just our thoughts

            but our actions,

but show us in black and white

    how we can be faithful to You.

Your Word is a lamp to our feet,

       a light to our path,

       and a delight to our hearts

because through it,

          we can know You more.
