Psalm 119:97-104
When I hear a song, or watch a movie I really like, I can play either on repeat for weeks, or even months, and not get bored. Knowing every word to the song, or all the lines of each character from a movie, I’ll still find great pleasure from enjoying them, no matter how many times they are played. Call me crazy, or even insane, but when I really like something, it brings me joy everytime I’m entertained by it.
A thought crossed my mind the other day, about how many people literally get bored from reading the pages of Scripture. I can admit, when I began to study the Word of God in my early years, I didn’t find it to be as pleasurable as some portrayed it to be. I would often fall asleep, if I read more than two chapters of a book, because I would lose interest, and prefer to watch the game on ESPN. But, as I matured in godliness, and actually tasted God’s Word, I discovered that it’s the best thing I’ve ever tasted in my life!
The Word of God is rich in knowledge, and instruction on how to carry oneself as a child of God, so when I read the Bible nowadays, I hate to put it down, because God continues to reveal things in familiar passages, I had not noticed times before. Even if I’m watching a YouTube sermon from one of my favorite teachers, I can watch and rewatch their videos over and over, while still gleaning from their words of wisdom and inspiration.
It’s obvious to me now, that the more of God we have in us, the less space the world can occupy in our hearts and minds. When we love God more than anything else, we’ll even refrain from taking sides with evil men, because our godly understanding will help us discern what’s good for us, and what we are to separate ourselves from. Taste and see for yourself, that God’s Word is worth more than anything!
Keep your chin up… it’s easier to see Heaven that way,

Amen!! “O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day” (Psalms 119:97 KJV). This is what happens when I finally realize Jesus is literally everything to me, and not just the first or last thought of the day. With constant communion and mediation with God and His word, we’ll definitely start to notice how we are able to out smart our enemies, gain peace in the midst of chaos, keep us from the path evil, and more. So Brother Ell, I completely agree and understand why you would leave His Word on repeat to “play it again,” and again …, especially when His word is sweeter than honey. To God be ALL the Glory!!!💖😋🍯🔂📖⬅️🎧💖
