The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Psalm 19:7-10 (ESV)God's Word is perfect, reviving, sure, wisdom-giving, right, pure, and enlightening. God's Word makes the heart glad. ESPN can never deliver those things.
The fear of the Lord is pure and enduring. Money could never make that promise
The rules of the Lord are trustworthy, correct, and to be desired above all else. The laws of the land do not come close to that.
Why would anyone skip time in God's Word? Why would we read it only under obligation rather than because of the joy it brings our souls?
Satisfaction can be found in God alone, and His Word allows us to see Him.
