I LOVE THE BIBLE – GOD’S WORD! (You guessed that, huh?)
Since beginning a daily time with the Lord in His word every day as a teenager, I’ve discovered that it gives me Spiritual nourishment, reliable guidance, therapeutic encouragement, direct correction (when I need it), protection against temptation and sin, and a strong anchor in all that life brings my way. (I probably could come up with more benefits – and so could you. But those were the ones that came to mind this morning.)
As a result, when I read these words during “Coffee with the Lord” today I found myself saying a hearty “AMEN!” to the words of the Psalmist in the longest chapter (and Psalm) of the Bible…
“My heart stands in awe of Your words! I rejoice at Your word like one who finds great spoil. I love Your law! … Great peace have those who love Your law – nothing can make them stumble! … My soul keeps Your testimonies; I love them exceedingly! I keep Your precepts and testimonies, for all my ways are before You.” (From Psalm 119:161-168)
With my Bible on my lap this morning I paused to express my thanksgiving and gratitude to God for His wonderful word! Hope you feel that way about the Bible as well!
