04/25/2024 – “How happy is the man who does not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners, or join a group of mockers! Instead his delight is in the Lord’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night.” Psalm 1: 1-2 (Comment – bible footnote below)

The Slightest bit 

Thursday, April 25, 2024

Did you ever think you’d like to live in the Bible times? In synagogues today, in the center of the bema/podium is an ark/ornamental cabinet which contains the Torah scroll/first five books of Moses. That’s how it was in Bible times. People didn’t have their own Bible, it was a scroll at synagogue. Today, it’s completely different. You can get all the Scriptures, study Bibles, commentaries, and a concordance at your local bookstore or on your phone that you carry in your pocket. In Bible times, they couldn’t afford such treasures and no synagogue could house them. The slightest bit of scripture was precious. You live in a generation which has the Word of God so accessible. Are you going to let a day go by without reading it, without receiving it, meditating on it, letting it soak in, and applying it to your life? You’re sitting on a gold mine. If you want to be blessed, treasure the Treasure.

From Message #368 – Standing in the Waves 
Scripture: Psalm 1:1-2

TODAY’S MISSION – Open up your treasure today. Receive the word with expectation of receiving the riches of God.

My bible footnote – Psalm chapter 1 reads: “This psalm, which introduces the entire collection in the book of Psalms by describing the type of person who reads and uses them, belongs more to the category of ‘wisdom’ than to that of the hymns and prayers that make up most of the book. Wisdom literature is concerned with the conflicting lifestyles of believers and unbelievers, emphasizing that only divine judgment will end the inequity of life and bring reward to the righteous.”

-FYI – In our Semikkah7 bible study, the Psalms are read every Thursday, running the entire year.
