Consider ‘mayim’—living water—and how immersing yourself in God’s word can revive your spirit. Hungry for a deeper connection with God? This episode on Psalm 119:97-104 will inspire you to meditate on His word and experience its life-changing power...

Dwelling in the Word and letting the Word dwell in us richly is different than reading the Bible or reading a devotional with Bible passages. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly and return the favor by dwelling in the Word - not "doing" Bible study, not simply reading - but moving into the Word with heart, soul, mind, and strength. It's being intentional in making a shift from treating the Word of God like a self-help book to letting it dwell in us as the living Word of God that it is.
Meditate on God’s Word Daily: Don’t just read the Bible—take time to meditate on it throughout your day. Reflect deeply on what you read, allowing the Scriptures to influence your thoughts, actions, and decisions.
Commit Scripture to Memory: Memorize passages like Psalm 119:97-104 to keep God’s word close to your heart. This will help you have His wisdom readily available whenever you need guidance.
Apply Scripture to Life’s Challenges: Use God’s word both offensively and defensively in your life. Let it guide your decisions and actions, and rely on it for strength and protection in spiritual battles.
Compare Teachings Against Scripture: As you learn from others, whether in secular or biblical settings, always compare what you hear with the truth of God’s word. This ensures that your understanding aligns with the Bible.
Delight in God’s Word: Approach your Bible study with joy and anticipation. Let Scripture be a source of delight and refreshment, something you look forward to each day, knowing it will satisfy your soul like nothing else can.
I'm working on a new series! "So Glad You Asked" which will take your questions about the Bible, living the Christian life, dealing with difficult situations/people/life issues, ...really anything on your mind and I'll share my thoughts and responses. I'd love to hear from you. No question is off-limits - Submit questions about this or any topic to DwellingRichly@gmail.com or https://www.jennifergrichmond.com/podcast/#question
