A Small Dose of Truth

Psalm 119:18

When the psalmist prayed for focused attention and a receptive heart, he was not preparing for a legalistic, mechanical quiet time. He was coming to Scripture in recognition of his need and reaching out to the Great Physician for a prescription to fill his emptiness. Scripture is our daily dose of truth. A small daily filling of God's Word, received with focused attention is better than a large gulp received with little thought and quickly forgotten.

Questions for further thought:
1. Are you getting your daily dose of God's Word?
2. If not, what can you do to change?  

​Challenge:  Start small. Take small doses and really focus on what you are taking in. Some find it helpful to read Scripture as a prayer. Experiment with methods that help you hear what God has for you every day. Again, commit to daily time in Scripture.
