Today is Monday, February 17, 2020 and here is your Daily Devo.
It is interesting to note that the people of Israel stood and listened to the reading of Scripture for over six hours. No cell phones, no social media, and no electronic devices to fiddle with when they got bored. They had not been able to have a public reading of Scripture for decades, but through Ezra’s reading, God’s voice spoke again. Why were they so hungry to hear God’s Word? Because they knew they were hearing the actual words of God.
Scenes like these bring up questions for us today, such as, “how do I increase my desire for God’s Word?” For starters, you can begin by praying for God to grant you that desire. If you find yourself simply having a desire for a desire, then thank God and build upon that. Second, if you want to grow in your desire for God’s Word, then it is absolutely vital that you actually spend time in God’s Word. This means not only spending quality time in devotion each day, but also listening to good sermons in your car or on the go. Using your time to be exposed to solid biblical teaching will have a direct affect on your desire for the Word.
Think about this: Why do we so often fail to crave God’s Word as we should? What are some ways we can increase our desire to read and listen to God’s Word?
