First Love Rekindled

Today, when my husband read Psalm 119:72, which says, "The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold," he laughed and shared an interesting story that came to his mind after reading it. Unlike me, who loves to read and meditate on Bible verses for a long time, he is a person who memorizes and recites them while driving his bike—which I adore a lot.

After reading these beautiful words today, he said he remembered a time when he found himself searching for the gold bracelet on his hand while sleeping. But the psalmist here says that for him, God's law is more precious than much gold or silver. How much David must have loved, cherished, and protected the Word of God in his heart!

Do we have this habit of meditating on God's Word day and night?

I received salvation at the age of twelve. I remember attaching myself so much to the Word of God then. I call it my first love. I remember using all the beautiful shiny stickers and flower stickers to paste at the beginning of every book in the Bible. I remember kissing the Bible often. How great it would be if the love we have for God's Word is kindled again!

Dear God, we pray unto You, seeking to be blessed with the love that King David had for Your laws. May Your words be our meditation day and night. When we wake up at night, may our minds go to it. Fill us with Your precious words, Lord. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
