I
Am Yours;
Save
Me
The LORD exists forever; your word is
firmly fixed in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have
established the earth, and it stands fast. By your appointment they stand
today, for all things are your servants. If your law had not been my delight, I
would have perished in my misery. I will never forget your precepts, for by
them you have given me life. I am yours; save me, for I have sought your
precepts. The wicked lie in wait to destroy me, but I
consider your decrees. I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your
commandment is exceedingly broad.
Oh, how I love your law! It is my
meditation all day long. Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for
it is always with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your
decrees are my meditation. I understand more than the aged, for I keep your
precepts. I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep your word.
I do not turn away from your ordinances, for you have taught me. How sweet are
your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts I
get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
Psalm 119:89-104
How often do you take the Bible and just
read it? It is God's book and it tells of His love for you and me. Shouldn't
you pay attention? It has a message for you. It was written for you and me.
Study the Bible for your enjoyment, edification and spiritual growth. God wants
you to keep it, to ponder it, to understand it, to believe it, and to obey its message.
The more you read
the Bible,
the more you will
love its Author.
