All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness. —2 Timothy 3:16
When I give my mind new fuel for meditation, it turns my thoughts from aimless pursuits to the Lord. I need not only a daily intake of Scripture but a varied one. The Bible is an inexhaustible well, providing new means to enjoy God’s unchanging character. We need a regular, varied diet to sustain a healthy thought life.
The story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5 brings fresh joy as I see that all God asks for my soul’s healing is faith in Him. Reading Nahum 1:3, “clouds are the dust beneath his feet,” renews my worship of His greatness every time I’m outside.
As a fire dies out for lack of new wood, so a healthy thought life dies for lack of new thoughts of God. What a plethora of fresh descriptions of Him we find in His Word! Yet how little of it we access. We should be in it often. The whole of God’s Word is needed for a healthy thought life.
