4 Actions to Enjoy the Lord

As I read through Psalm 119 today, God revealed a pattern of Christian living.  There are 4 actions that are mentioned over and over again:  Seek, Meditate, Keep, and Speak.  Four simple words but for some reason not easy for us to do.
The object of these actions include God Himself, His Word, His Law, His Testimonies, His Commandments, His precepts, and His Understanding to name a few.  As I read I was convicted. Do I actively Seek, Meditate, Keep, and Speak of these things?  Am I diligently drawing closer to my Lord and Savior with my whole heart?

This Psalm beautifully discusses that results of these actions also.  They include Delight, Understanding, Reverence, Steadfastness, and Praise.  Totally worth the investment, right?

Reflection

I can’t help be think that if we are not doing this actions and enjoying the results that we are missing a huge part of our relationship with Christ.

May you delight in the Lord today and all He has done for you.  Seek, meditate, keep and speak of Him and all His Word says today!

Prayer

LORD, help us to desire the results so much that these actions would be a joy.  May your love fill us and spill over to all we come in contact with.  We praise you today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
