When reading through the Bible on a regular basis (as we are often encouraged to do!), it is easy to forget just what it is that we’re reading.

I was struck by this the other day when I read Psalm 12:6:

“The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.”

I wondered: how often do I think to myself: “these are the words of the Lord”? Or: “these words are of incredible value, like highly refined silver”? Not often enough. I know that if thought that every morning and believed that every morning, it would change the way I read my Bible every morning.

Do you have a verse that you refer to each morning to help remind you of the importance and value of God’s word? In a previous post I suggested John Piper’s I.O.U.S method from Psalm 119:36, 119:18, 84:11, and 90:14. If you’re using a different verse, we’d love to know what it is.
