Love of the Bible


To the majority of people the Bible is a great story that tells
about the history of the Jewish nation. Few admire it for what
it really is; the very words of God. In chapter 119 of the book
of Psalms, the writer consistently writes about his love and
admiration for the law, or word, of God. For instance in verse
seven the writer says "I will praise You with uprightness of
heart, when I learn of your righteous judgments." And in verse
54 we read "Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my
pilgrimage." 

Do you love the word of God? Do you desire knowledge of it more
than material wealth? The word of God is what sustains us day to
day. It is "a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (vs. 105).
God's word also keeps us from being ashamed (vs. 6), keeps us
clean (vs. 9), keeps us from sin (vs. 11) and strengthens us
(vs. 28). Every person should wake up each day with a longing to
learn more about our Creator. Though others may "persecute me
without a cause…my heart stands in awe of Your word" (vs. 161).



In Christ, Steve Preston
