Our Devotion for Friday, January 23 Glory in the Lord; O worshiper of God, rejoice. Search for him and for his strength, and keep on searching! Psalm 105:3-4 (TLB) Jerome, one of the early Christians, said, Ignorance of the Bible means ignorance of Christ. Job once said, I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food (Job 23:12). Jeremiah said, Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart (Jeremiah 15:6). To read the Bible one needs a quiet time. Christians students often ask, How do you maintain your spiritual high? What do you do on a daily basic? I tell them about my quiet time. Some days it is in the early--sometimes late--morning, sometimes evening. Without it, my Christian life would be a wilderness. Isaiah said, They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). So gain the strength of eagles, as the prophet suggested. Set a time each day when you can spend a few minutes alone with God. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prayer for the Day Dear Lord, teach us to wait upon You, that we may know Your strength.
