In the Word: Our Great Reward

Welcome to Hope Mommies In the Word devotionals. Over the next few weeks, we will be meditating on Psalm 19 together. As we study these truths together, we’d love you to use the comments as a place to dialogue with us about what you are learning and share your answers to the questions below. We pray that you hearts will be encouraged as you dig into God’s Word each week with us! 

“Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.”
Psalm 19:11

READ:

We have been exploring what it means to love the Word of God. It teaches us the gospel, the good news that we can be freed from sin and self, and thrust onto a beautiful Savior. It gives wisdom amidst the seemingly uncontrollable storm of grief. It is right and true, a solid and secure foundation for rebuilding life. It gives strength and light because of the purity it places within the heart.

I have something to ask you today—do you know you are a Christian who belongs to God forever? Perhaps you have never confessed your sins to Him, turning from them with faith in Christ (Acts 3:19) who alone can save you (Titus 3:5; Romans 6:14; Romans 8:2). The reading of God’s Word reveals warnings. Without God, none of us are destined for heaven (Romans 6:23), and we cannot reach heaven by ourselves, because our self-produced “righteousness” is as good as filth (Isaiah 64:6; Romans 3:23).

The holy glory of God is so grand and He is so just a Judge that I would stand condemned in my sin if I did not place the faith of my life in Christ (John 3:18). But this is the good news—I have trusted Christ, my Lord. And so, I can know that He has taken on Himself the condemnation for my sins so that I can truly live freed from the burden of them. And you are invited to do this too! What reward is found in the Scriptures—we learn there of this Lord and Savior (Philippians 3:9; Romans 8:1)!

Have you found King Jesus the Savior of your soul, welcoming His reign in you?

REFLECT:

1. How can you slow yourself before the warnings and rewards of His Word?
2. What rewards have you experienced in keeping God’s Word?
