Lessons from Psalms: 16
“The
law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.” Psalm 19:7
Would you like a concise explanation
of the value of God’s word? Look in Psalm 19 and check out these descriptive
terms: perfect, sure, right, pure, clean, true and righteous. Then consider
what these seven descriptions can work in the world today. The can: convert the
soul, make us wise, rejoice our heart, give us understanding, warn us and last
us for eternity. More than that they have great value: better than gold, sweeter
than honey and bring great reward.
The average American home has over
2.5 Bibles but according to statistics they are seldom used or read. This
banquet of ideas and benefits that God has described should be one that is
truly hard to pass up. Most of us wouldn’t pass by a buffet of fried chicken,
roast ham, mashed potatoes, heavily frosted cakes, fragrant fruit pies, bread
pudding and ice cream. We would stop and eat, especially since it is free. Yet
everyday millions of believers walk right past just such a feast and grow
weaker and weaker in spiritual hunger every day. But praise be to God, the
banquet is always open and we are always welcome to feast and be blessed.
Dear
Father, Thank You for the feast of Your word and the blessings and hope that it
gives to us. Amen.
