It's time to do the work. If you want to run to the heart of God, you must start with His Word. This week's song, "Soul on Fire" by Third Day, encourages us to run to the heart of God. As as we do every week through "More Than a Song", we run straight to God's Word as the starting line.

What moments in your life will you exchange to make time in God's Word a priority?
On this episode I discuss:

Third Day's purpose behind the new album "Lead Us Back"
A discussion on the heart of God
How the version of God's Word you are reading may lead you to distraction and discouragement
Manna as a metaphor for God's Word - Deuteronomy 8:3
Another acrostic poem in Scripture using the Hebrew alphabet - Psalm 119
Introduction to Psalm 119 from Charles Spurgeon's "Treasury of David"
How God's Words consumed Jeremiah like a fire - Jeremiah 20:7-9

This Week's Challenge

Read Psalm 119. Although it is like 22 psalms in one, it is time to do the work. If you want to run to the heart of God, you must start with His Word, and what better Psalm to start with than one about being passionate about God's Word? Read it in different versions. Get the YouVersion app and play it out loud while you're getting ready in the morning, on your morning AND afternoon drive, and again before you settle in for the night. Decide today what you will exchange in your day to get this done.
