Delight in God's Word

Psalm 119 is one giant acrostic that is all about one thing: God's Word. The Scriptures are fixed and unchanging, and that gives us stability in our lives. The Lord is always faithful to His promises, and everything in His Creation is under His control. God hasn't given us the Bible just to fill our heads with knowledge; He wants us to delight in it! His Word gives us life, and it should make us cry out -- like the Psalmist -- "I am Yours; save me!" Even in our times of affliction, we would do better to remember God's Word instead of turning out thoughts inward. You will never exhaust the depths of Scripture! God is good, and His mercies are new every morning. Don't be spiritually impoverished -- read the Scriptures this year!
