Description
Meditations from Psalm 119 Reveal the Multitude of Gifts God Communicates Through Scripture
Do you view the Bible as a gift to open or a burden to carry? God-the source of every good and perfect gift-offers abundant promises in Scripture. But sometimes, studying his word feels more burdensome than rewarding. In order to delight in the Bible, believers should anticipate all of the blessings it contains, from the reassuring to the unexpected.
Each of these 20 brief readings, based primarily on Psalm 119, focuses on an individual gift that God communicates through his word, such as warnings and wisdom that bring repentance. Readers will explore themes including righteousness, hope, freedom from shame, strength in affliction, and more. Author Uche Anizor pours years of ministry experience and in-depth biblical insight into a series of accessible meditations that help believers see the Bible as an extension of God's mercy and love.
20 Meditations: Each brief reading highlights a different gift that God communicates through Scripture
Builds Trust for God and His Word: This book helps readers understand God's manifold, life-shaping grace and follow the Bible's wisdom and instruction
Additional Readings: Features hymns at the end of each chapter, a concluding meditation on the many ways we can respond to God's word, and prayers at the end of the book
