Your Word: The Greatest Promise - Psalm 119:76

When someone gives us their word, they are promising something to us. In that same vein, Psalm 119 tells us that God's Word is His Promise to us. From every historical account to commandment, from prophecies to parables, every Word from God conveys His Promise-Making and Promise-Keeping nature. From His Word, we learn that He is a God who intervenes in our lives, shows us His will and plan, and strengthens us. David praises God for His Promises, and gives us incredible incite as to how God is always trying to emphasize His Promises as greater than anything else. David sees his afflictions has being purposed and ordained by God to cause his affection for God's Word to grow. David’s confession in Psalm 119:67 and 71 reflects this conviction. As we are driven from the world to God's Word, we find relief and perspective that we may have never obtained otherwise. Are you allowing God to teach you and tend to you in your afflictions? The devil wants us to give in and give up, but God calls us to look up. Open His Word today and hear His promises, and receive help and healing. No matter what, His promises to you are unchanging and forever greater than any other word.
