Devotionals
Wouldn't you love to be a kid again? My answer is "yes," if I could
relive my original childhood -- I had a ball. Most of our fun was in
creating and making our own toys, but if I were raised in today's Toys R
Us society, I don't think I'd have as much fun.
One of the childhood pleasures that you may or may not remember was
the sheer joy of stomping in a puddle and watching the water fly. It
didn't cost much -- just a little soap and water afterward, possibly
accompanied by a scolding.
Now, as adults, we can stomp in the puddle of God's Word and get
cleansed instead of dirty. We can wallow in His promises and comfort
without getting a scolding, although there is frequent admonition. We
can splash around in the comfort of the Psalms, soak up the sage advice
of the Proverbs and wring out all the doctrine we can find in Paul's
writings. It's an endless pool of wisdom, but most importantly, it will
point you to God, and therein lies the key to joy -- inexplicable joy.
In all of Job's trials, he was still able to say (Job 23:11 & 12 nlt), "For I
have stayed in God's paths; I have followed His ways and not turned
aside. I have not departed from His commands but have treasured His
Word in my heart." Job was a puddle jumper -- are you?
