"I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word." Psalm 119:15,16
Newsmax Health reported yesterday that women who run for only 60 seconds a day have better bone health than those who run less than a minute. Scientists from the U.K.'s University of Exeter and the University of Leicester went on to say that, "Women who on average did 60-120 seconds of high-intensity, weight-bearing activity per day had 4 percent better bone health than those who did less than a minute. Bone health was 6 percent better in those who exercised for more than two minutes a day." So I guess you could say that a little bit goes a long way right?
And while engaging in short spurts of activity every day might help improve our physical or bone health, the same cannot be said of our spiritual health. The Psalmist knew that when he wrote, "I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways... I will not neglect your word." You see, the Psalmist knew that the reading of God's Word was not something to be rushed through-which is why he urged his readers to "meditate", or give serious thought, time and study to it each and every day-and to never "neglect", or give little attention or respect to, the study of his decrees.
Dwight L. Moody said it this way, "Merely reading the Bible is no use at all without we study it thoroughly, and hunt it through, as it were, for some great truth.” So take the extra time today, and everyday, to truly "meditate" on the Word. I promise it will improve your spiritual health.
Heavenly Father, we thank you for your Word that is both refreshing and uplifting to our souls. Help us to delight in it so much that we would never neglect it for any reason, for we know it is the key to our spiritual health. It's in your precious name we pray Jesus. Amen.
Happy Running!!!
