Do You Love The Word Of God?

Do you love the Word of God?  I mean LOVE it.  Do you have a hunger and a thirst for the Word of God that must be quenched by reading and spending time in it with the Lord?  Is it your delight?  Or is it a thing you just do in passing?  

Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Psalm 119:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight. 

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 

Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 

The Word of the Lord is pure and perfect.  Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.  Psalm 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 

It is exalted higher than His own name.  Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 

The Word of God IS Jesus.  Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 

Is the Word of God something that you just read religiously?  Maybe you read it everyday, in the midst of your other morning tasks, but never really actually open up your heart to the Living God, just reading words on a page.  Or do you just open your bible at a bible study or sermon, not spending time in the Word yourself?  Not letting Him come into your heart and making Him your delight and His law your delight.  Examine yourself, ask Him, am I really spending time with YOU LORD or am I adding to my intellect with more facts about God or studying the Bible like it is a text book?  If you are not being transformed, if Scripture is not actually being quickened to you because it is the Living Word and it should be, ask God WHY?  Ask Him what is hindering this and seek Him for a true real deep relationship with the Living God who is merciful and wonderful, beyond religion, so much more beyond just intellectual assent.  Anyone that comes to Him in truth He will in no wise cast them out.  Be honest with Him, He already knows all things, He knows if His Word is a burden to you or if His Word is precious to you.  All things are open and naked before Him, mens hearts are open to Him who knows all things, come to Him in honestly, He is pressing upon your heart if you are at all convicted by this, this is His Spirit lovingly drawing you outside the camp, to really know Him.
