Welcome to Enjoying the Journey with Scott Pauli. True and lasting joy is only found in Jesus Christ,

and God has designed the Christian life so that those who follow him will not only enjoy the destination,

they can also enjoy the journey. You see, we're all

travelers in this world, and God has many wonderful truths to teach us along the way. For the next

few moments, we turn our attention to the Word of God, the only roadmap for this journey. You'll find

additional studies and resources online at scotpauly.org.

today, but memorize it, commit it to memory, thy word, if I hid in my heart,

that I might not sin against the heat. We memorize Scripture to meditate on Scripture,

and this is a verse you should meditate on often. Philippians chapter 2, verse 13, says,
