I Rejoice In Your Promise

Rulers persecute me without cause, but my heart trembles at your word.

I rejoice in your promise like one who finds great spoil.

I hate and detest falsehood but I love your law.

Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous laws.

Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.

I wait for your salvation, Lord, and I follow your commands.

I obey your statutes, for I love them greatly.

I obey your precepts and your statutes, for all my ways are known to you.

Psalm 119:161-168

Day by day we can dig into the Scriptures and find diamonds by promises, rubies of hope, and emeralds of wisdom. But by far the greatest thing we find is the person whom the book points to: Jesus Himself. After all, He wrote the book.

Let us seek diligently with the confidence that this is the treasure that will enrich us. As the psalmist said, “Your laws are my treasure; they are my heart’s delight.”

God’s Word is a valuable possession and a guide to life.
