Psalm 119 If your law had not been my delight, I would
have perished in my affliction. I will
never forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life.
There’s a reason we are told many times to delight in his
word, his law, his statutes. God knows
that we will need his word to sustain us when life gets hard, when we don’t
understand, or when we feel too weak to stand.
It’s in these particular times that God’s word is just like a
life-preserver – it’s something we can grab onto in order to keep afloat.
Without his word, or even with it but despising it, we will
perish. His word is life.
There’s another verse in the New Testament that says wherever
your treasure is, there is your heart also.
Our treasure must be the sweetness of his words, words we store up in
chests like those who store gold, only to be opened and discovered daily with
gasps of, “Oh my, he loves me that much?”
Never forget God's words to you. Delight in them. They are better than life.
