Psalm 34:8 and Galatians 5:13 – Finding the Joy of Learning God’s Word



Do you find trying to learn the Word is sometimes feels like work?  I know that at times I have felt that way.  But I don’t think that is what God intended.  In fact in Jeremiah 15:16 it says, “When your words came… they were my joy and my heart’s delight.” Not only should we find JOY in the actual Word of God, but learning His Word should also bring us joy.  I am afraid that too often we get bogged down in the process of learning, that dreaded thing called “memorizing”, that we forget that the Word should be our joy and heart’s delight.

So, today, I wanted to be playful about the Scripture Pages.  When you are looking for pictures to help aid in your learning of the word – you don’t have to always be so serious.  Try being playful!  What is more playful than using a picture of food that looks like it TASTES good for the scripture, “Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.” Psalm 34:8.  Or a picture of a salad with SERVING UTENSILS for the scripture, “Serve one another humbly in love!” Galatians 5:13.  Sometimes it’s OK to take the literal meaning of a word (taste, serve, etc.) and create a fun page with that.  I have found that many of the verses that were the easiest for me to learn were the ones on the Scripture Pages that were funny or cute.
So, happy learning today!!!
