Sweet Are Your Words

 

Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. Your commands are always with me and make me wiser than my enemies. I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes. I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts. I have kept my feet from every evil path so that I might obey your word. I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself have taught me. How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path.

 

Psalm 119:97-104

 

How much do you read your Bible? Is it dog-eared. Is there writing along the margins? Is it well used? Are the pages stained?

 

Think back to the Bible your parents or grand parents may have had. Take a look at it. The words have not changed in any of those Bibles compared to the Bible you read today, and the meaning is still the same. God presented us with His Word so we could learn from it.

 

A well-read Bible is a sign of a well-fed soul.
