It is a good idea, I find, to make a point to memorize scripture weekly. It seems to just penetrate to the heart. As food is nourishment to the body, scripture is nourishment to the soul.
This weekI ammemorizing Jeremiah 9:24, but let him whoboastsboast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises loving kindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things: declares the Lord. It bringsto mindwhat is important in the eyes of the Lord. If we truly desire to pleaseHim and have favor with Him we must first understand Him. If we seek to understand Him we willbegin to know Him.
By reading His word, studying His word, having alone time with Him, seeking everyday to see Him at work in all that we do, we begin to know and understand Him. There is nothing more valuable than to know and understand our creator; The One who designed us and has a definite purposefor our individual lives.
It is vital that we urgently desire to know and understand the Lord in order to live a meaningful, fruitful and abundant life here on earth. He wants to bless us, He intends to bless us, but we need to actively seek to know Him and understand Him.
To understand that he exercises loving kindness, justice and righteousnessis important. That clearly states that He so desires to be loving and kind to us. He is a just God and wants to see justice here on this earth and will bring it to pass however He chooses, for He is a just God and demands it. He exercises righteousness and desires that things be right and holy since He is a Holy God.
Being His children it is a responsibility of ours to desire to exercise righteousness on this earth to have favor with God and man. God, because He is deserving, and man so we can lead Him to the knowledge of the truth.
So let us all seek to know God, our creator who exercises loving-kindness, justice and righteousness.
Desiring to know Him more.
