The world in which we live offers us many things that can supposedly bring us peace and joy: material prosperity, positive self-esteem, and on and on. But the great 19th century Scot, Robert Murray McCheyne had a different view, "All my ideas of peace and joy are linked in with my Bible; and I would not give the hours of secret converse with it for all the other hours I spend in this world." For it is in the written word that we meet the living Word who is the bread of life and the living water, the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us never give up our time meeting with the Lord in the Scriptures.
"Do not love the world or the things in the world ... For all that is in the world - the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions - is not from the Father, but is from the world" (1 John 2:15-16).
"You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore" (Psalm 16:11).
