Joshua 1:8 (NLT) Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed. COMMENTARY PEARL Nourished By The Word Strengthening our spiritual roots begins with God's Word. A wonderful friend of ours, Robert Morgan, wrote a little book about Bible memorization and stated, "Our minds are vaults especially designed to stockpile the seeds of God's Word." In his book, he tells the story of an eighty-nine-year-old woman in his church who said, "Oh, Pastor Morgan, I'm so glad you are having us memorize [Bible] verses. I've already gotten started on them. It's going to help me keep my mind fresh and young!"! It made me smile to realize that she would keep her mind fresh and young she had not allowed it to get old. There is no better deposit to make in the human mind and heart than to fill them with the treasures found in the Word of God. Are the truths of God nourishing your root system? We must never cease being filled with the abundant gifts from God that bring hope and satisfaction. Which Bible verse will you memorize today?
