Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart"--Jer 15:16



This is a video of a village in Malawi rejoicing because they have just received God's written word! "my tongue will sing of Your word, for all your commandments are right"--Psalm 119:172

Something similar happened to Ezra and the Israelites in Nehemiah 8:5-6, "Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people...when he opened it, all the people stood up. And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God. Then all the people answered, "Amen, Amen!" while lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground."
Wow...Is this your response to the living and powerful Word of God? Has it ever been? If not, test yourself: "He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God."--John 8:47
Or maybe you have loved and rejoiced over the Scripture of truth in the past, but that hunger for the truth has faded? Remember:
"The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
the precepts of the Lord are right rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
