[00:00:24] Motivational moments just for today

[00:00:27] Our preacher back in California said that in ancient times when people would meditate on the word of God

[00:00:51] It was like a constant audible muttering like it was on your breath

[00:00:57] For this to be the case you had to know it well

[00:01:01] memorized even

[00:01:03] One of the families we worshiped with there had an absolute

[00:01:07] Absolute prodigy of a son this little kid has participated in the National Bible Bee for several years now

[00:01:15] He's been runner-up in the junior division and won the competition at the junior level this last time

[00:01:23] It's a massive undertaking with hundreds of verses memorized and this kid can spit them out with equanimity

[00:01:31] Maybe you'll never participate in a Bible Bee or a Bible Bowl

[00:01:37] But knowing his word so intimately that it rolls off of your tongue has a number of benefits

[00:01:46] It can keep us from sin

[00:01:48] Psalm 11911 says I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you

[00:01:56] It is a joy and a delight I

[00:02:01] Rejoice in the way of your testimonies as much as in all riches

[00:02:05] I will meditate on your precepts and regard your ways. I will delight in your statutes

[00:02:12] I will not forget your word

[00:02:14] Psalm 119

[00:02:16] 14 through 16

[00:02:18] It keeps us close to God. I

[00:02:22] Delight in your commandments because I love them

[00:02:24] I lift up my hands to your commandments which I love and meditate on your statutes

[00:02:31] Psalm 119

[00:02:33] 47 and 48

[00:02:36] God's words are life

[00:02:39] In John

[00:02:41] 663 Jesus says the words. I have spoken to you our spirit and they are a life

[00:02:48] We will be judged by them in John 12 48

[00:02:53] Jesus says the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day

[00:03:00] Listen to the words of Psalm 1. I want to be like this. I hope you do too

[00:03:07] Blessed is the man who does not walk in the council of the wicked or set foot on the path of sinners or

[00:03:14] sit in the seat of mockers

[00:03:17] But his delight is in the law of the Lord and on his law he meditates day and night

[00:03:24] He is like a tree planted by streams of water

[00:03:28] yielding its fruit in season whose leaf does not wither and who prospers in all he does

[00:03:36] Not so the wicked for they are like the chaff driven off by the wind

[00:03:41] Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous

[00:03:48] Our meme for today says only good can come from studying and staying in God's word
