Who likes reading instructions?
Aaron used an excellent idea during his message at our church's high school group tonight. He read through a large portion of Psalm 119, and had the students holler and cheer whenever they heard any word designating the scriptures, like law, instructions, decrees, etc. (all words which don't typically inspire much glee in our culture, of course). The point of this was to help them experience the enthusiasm and love the writer of Psalm 119 had for God's word. It got really loud in that auditorium tonight! It reminded me of the time Aaron and I read through the book of Esther on Purim with our families, complete with the traditional booing and cheering. There is something really soul-stirring to me about reacting to God's word verbally as a community. It's a beautiful thing.
