One Year Bible: Day 282 - Jeremiah 21:1-23:8; 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:13; Psalm 119:9-16

“O land, land, land, hear the Word of the Lord” (Jeremiah 22:29). When we truly hear the Word of the Lord with attentive hearts, there will be an “increase and overflow” of “love” and a strengthening of holiness (1 Thessalonians 3:12-13). This is the teaching of Psalm 119:9 - “How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to Your Word.” This is why we hear the Word of the Lord - so that we might learn to do the will of the Lord: “I have hidden Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You” (Psalm 119:11).
