When we actually discover the truth of God in Christ, we are elated. When we first see the Light of Jesus’ love and salvation, the truth that brought us to it becomes our delight. The person who led us to the Lord often becomes our mentor, and perhaps a life-long friend.
The Bible, whose pages pealed back layer after layer of erroneous thinking and false doctrine becomes our favorite book! We devour its pages and when we have concluded our reading of this amazing Book, we read it again—and again! Many people of faith have read it more times than they can count.
Many people of faith have memorized passages of the scripture that have been particularly meaningful to them in their walk with Jesus. In Jeremiah 15:16, the prophet expresses his delight in the Word in a way that makes it clear that he counts it more essential than the food he eats.
He says, “Your words were found and I ate them. Your words became a delight to me and the joy of my heart.” When God’s revelation of Himself, of His plan of salvation, of His journey to earth as our Savior, becomes clear, we cannot help but desire to lose ourselves in the truth that allowed us to find ourselves.
