“Your statutes are my heritage forever;
they are the joy of my heart.”
Psalm 119:111
It has been on my heart to begin “Treasure Verse Tuesday” here at Joy In The Truth. On each “Treasure Verse Tuesday” I am going to share a different scripture that ministered to my heart in a special way. You know, one of those scriptures that just seems to pop off the page of the Bible and into our hearts. A treasure from His Word for our hearts.
God has given me such a love for His Word. As I read it daily, I am always overwhelmed at the depth and richness of His truths in scripture. His Word is so real, so alive, so deep. It is timelessly relevant and applicable.
Just this morning as I was reading Wendy Blight’s new book “Hidden Joy In A Dark Corner“, I was saying “amen” out loud when I read what she had written (page 34):

Just this morning as I was reading Wendy Blight’s new book “Hidden Joy In A Dark Corner“, I was saying “amen” out loud when I read what she had written (page 34):
“Open His Word. Sit at His feet and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. Like growing a friendship, growing in the wisdom and knowledge of God takes time. It is a journey. It is a commitment. Your first step is to open God’s Word…there is only one Truth, and that Truth is the Word of God. When we open His Word, God promises to open our hearts and minds to what it says.”
Knowing God by opening His Word and learning about Him. Growing in your relationship with Him. Knowing with certainty that He loves you. You growing in your love for the Author Himself.
Treasures of truth are laden all throughout scripture. Psalm 119 is said to be “A Devotional On The Word Of God”. What a great place to start. If we are faithful to open His Word with a teachable heart, He is faithful to help us understand what is written. “Then He opened their minds so they could understand the scriptures” Luke 14:45
So on Tuesdays I will begin to share some treasures of truth that I am finding in scripture that have reached deep into my heart. If you’d like to join me and have a “Treasure Verse Tuesday” on your blog, please copy the “Treasure Verse Tuesday” button on my side bar. (Hugs and a big THANK YOU to Jill (Blessed Mom of 8) at Forever-n-Ever-n-Always” (click here) for designing the button for me!) I am excited to encourage one another with His treasures of truth.
“The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul.”
Psalm 19:7
