Daily Bread – February 16, 2024 (The Sixth Day – Genesis 1:24-31) Psalms 50:23 – He that offers thanksgiving honors Me; and he who orders his way, I will show Him the salvation of God. The Word of God is given to us to make us wise (Proverbs 1-3; 1 Timothy 3:14-15). It reveals to us the ways of the Almighty God – the ways that last forever. If we are willing to set ourselves to keeping the Word of God, we learn how to depart from evil (Acts 13:26; Ephesians 6:17; Job 28:28; Psalms 37:27; Proverbs 16:6). If we will depart from evil, then the wisdom of God will continually fill our hearts and cause us to have insight and understanding into the ways of the Most High that last forever (Psalms 111:10; Proverbs 1:7, 9:10; Deuteronomy 4:6; Colossians 3:16; Ephesians 1:17-23). As we walk in obedience to God, He satiates our souls with His goodness and causes us to drink of the rivers of His pleasure (Psalms 36:8). The rivers of His pleasure produce a wellspring of joy and love and every dimension of His own nature (Romans 8:29; Hebrews 1:3; Galatians 5:22-23; John 7:38-39; Ephesians 5:9; Philippians 1:11; Isaiah 35:5-8; Amos 5:24). If we will continue to drink of His Spirit through praise and thanksgiving, we will discover depths of His love that are deeper than we have known, higher than we can imagine, longer than the length of the ages, and broader than time itself (Ephesians 3:14-19).
