Last Day of the Year!

Last Day of the Year! (Psalm 40:8)

What has been your favorite part of this year?
What is something that you have learned this year?

If you started this series of daily devotions at the beginning of the year, then you’ve finished. Congratulations! If you didn’t start this series at the beginning of the year, then hopefully you’ll keep right on going!

Devotions are a great way to study God’s Word and get to know God’s will. In Psalm 40, David wrote that he kept God’s law within his heart. That’s something we can do too, to keep God’s truth in the innermost part of ourselves where no one can ever take it away.

An awesome way to keep God’s Word close is through memorization. We may have been encouraged to memorize verses in Sunday school. Or we may have memorized poems in school. Memorizing God’s Word shouldn’t feel like an obligation. If we do it because we think we have to, then the Word will be stored in our minds but not our hearts. So let’s think about giving it a try. If we do, we will etch God’s truths right into the fabric of our being.
Prayer

Dear God, thank you for giving us so many ways to learn about you. We can never thank you enough for your Word. Please help us to learn it, understand it and keep it within our hearts. Amen.
