Where Do I Start

As I continued on my journey with the Lord, I knew I had to read the word and I honestly didn’t know where to start. I needed to grow spiritually, and I opened the bible one day to the book of Psalms. As I read it, I applied it to my life daily and personalized prayers of David and certain power and praise scriptures and spoke them into my life unto the Lord. At the time I had no idea the effect those verses would have on my life, but as I continued to sow the seeds, I was beginning to reap a great harvest within my heart. Step by step I discovered I was being transformed into a woman of worship, my prayer life was beginning to flourish, it was truly amazing and most exciting. Now it’s been twenty years later and just the other night I thought how much I value the book of Psalms and what it means to me…well interestingly enough it is the center of the bible and has become the center of my life. My heart overflowed with great inspiration as I pondered the Psalms…

It is my passion and the treasure of my heart ~ It ushers me into the secret place,

It caused me to desire more of God ~ It ignites a fire deep within me

It lifts up my spirit ~ It gives me new hope and builds up my faith

It gives me new wisdom ~ It satisfies my hungry soul and quenches my thirst

It awakens my heart to worship and enriches my prayer life

It enlightens my eyes to see deeper ~ It stirs up new craving and an appetite for more, I can’t get enough

It revives me, refreshes and renews my mind ~ It excites me with joy, filled with His glory

It causes my feet to dance ~ It develops my character

It’s my overflowing fountain ~ It models my behavior

It gives strength when I’m weary ~ It is the air I need to breathe everyday

It is the oxygen I need to survive ~ It is my everything and to make me more like Jesus

I feed on the book of Psalms daily and it nourishes my spirit and soul. It is the very foundation of my spiritual being. It is the ground I walk on and it keeps me on track.

Our bodies need food to nourish us, and how much more do we need the word of God to feed and nourish our spiritual being. Partake of it with pleasure and taste and see that the Lord is good. Bite into it and let it sink into the depth of your heart and soul and watch how you’ll grow. Write it upon the tablet of your heart and you’ll be renewed, refreshed and revived as you drink of His living waters daily. I honestly can’t go one day without meditating on the Psalms. And I know you can experience the same. There are also many other wonderful and powerful books in the bible and many verses that have empowered my life as well, but I found for me and my journey with the Lord the Psalms had, and still has an everlasting effect in my walk with Him. Glory be to God and His wonderful word. God bless, Lollita Faith
