My Heart
Stands In Awe
Of Your Words
Princes persecute me
without cause; but my heart stands in awe of your words. I rejoice at your word
like one who finds great spoil. I hate and abhor falsehood, but I love your
law. Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous ordinances. Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them
stumble. I hope for your salvation, O LORD, and I fulfill your commandments. My
soul keeps your decrees; I love them exceedingly. I keep your precepts and
decrees, for all my ways are before you.
Psalm
119:161-168
The psalmist delighted in
God’s Word. He stood in awe of it, rejoiced over it, loved it, and obeyed it.
He found great peace and hope in the Word.
One
measure of our love for God
is what we’re willing
to do
to share His Word
with others.
