Psalm 119:73
Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.

As a child, you go to school because you weren’t born knowing how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. There’s a lot we have to learn as we grow. And the same is true spiritually. God made each one of us, but we still need to grow in wisdom and understanding. And one of the ways God gives us that understanding is through His Word.

Philippians 4:9
What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

As school starts back up, it’s important to practice the things you’re learning. When you do, you’ll notice your times tables, the periodic table, and important dates in history start to stick in your brain. It’s the same with practicing what you’ve learned about God. The more you live it out and practice what’s been preached to you, the more those truths become part of how you live every day.

Matthew 7:24
Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Have you ever bought a bookshelf or a piece of furniture that came in a box? You dump out all the pieces, look at the pile of screws, and then reach for the instruction manual. Why? Because the person who designed it knows how it’s supposed to go together. God has given us instructions too! His Word isn’t meant to take the fun out of life; it’s meant to show us how life was designed to be lived. So, take the time and open it today!

Psalm 19:14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

David wasn’t a perfect man. In fact, Scripture records some of his greatest failures. Yet he was called a man after God’s own heart because he continually turned back to the Lord in faith. When you read Psalms, you can hear David’s desire for his heart and mind to honor the One who created him. And that’s a prayer worth making every day.

Job 23:12
I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.

Job had incredible wealth. He owned livestock, land, and possessions beyond what most people could imagine. Yet when he spoke about what he treasured most, even at his lowest point, it wasn’t his riches. It was God’s Word.

John 15:7
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

What feels most like home to you? Maybe it’s everyone gathered around the table sharing a meal. Maybe it’s snuggling on the couch with one of your kids or sitting on the porch talking with your parents. That’s the kind of relationship Jesus invites us into. He’s calling us to stay close to Him and to let His Word find its home in our hearts.

Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

When kids are little, parents spend a lot of time explaining things, especially when something scary is happening. Jesus did something similar with His disciples. As He prepared them for the difficult days ahead, He didn’t reveal everything that would happen. But He did give them something they could trust completely: His Word.

Isaiah 40:28
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.

Flowers bloom and fade; people are born and eventually pass away. But God is different. He has always existed and always will. He is the Everlasting God—the One who depends on nothing outside of Himself to sustain Him. He never grows weary, never changes, and is completely worthy of our worship.

Ephesians 1:11-12
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.

When you think about the universe, the One who created it is the One who has authority over it. God lovingly created our world with purpose, not only to provide for His creation, but also to display His glory. And whether people acknowledge Him or not, He remains the ultimate ruler and sustainer of all things.

1 Chronicles 16:34
Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!

Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as faithful, compassionate, and steadfast in His love toward His people. Yet many would have you believe that God is the opposite: harsh, angry, or distant. But when you read His word, you find that He is exactly who He says He is. And that’s something to be thankful for today!

Jeremiah 32:17
Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.

God could’ve done anything He desired because He is all-powerful. But what’s incredible is what He chose to do with His power. He could have created a world where He simply demanded obedience, but instead He created humanity, in His image, with the ability to know Him, love Him, and choose to follow Him.

Isaiah 57:15
For thus says the One who is high and lifted up who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

The Creator of the Universe is holy, which means He is set apart from humanity. Unfortunately, it’s our sin that separates us from fellowship with Him. Which is why God generously established a way for us to be able to come into His presence. And it’s through His Son Jesus that we now have forgiveness and fellowship with God through repentance and faith.
