Treasured

 When was the last time you treasured reading God's Word?  No, really.  I mean treasured it!  His love letter to you.  When was the last time you were so thankful for it that you wept for joy?  Or because you were so excited to get up and read it that you danced?  Sound a little over the top?  These folks in this video just received the Word of God written in their language.  The New Testament was finally translated into their language in March 2010.  

The members of the village had a big celebration.  God's Word was finally theirs.  They could read it.  Study it.  Treasure it.  

Forgive me, Lord, for my sometimes apathetic familiarity to Your Word.  From today on may I always be elated to receive Your Word daily - just like these brothers and sisters in far away lands.
