How I love your law! I think about it all day long. Your commandment is with me all the time and makes me wiser than my enemies. I understand more than all my teachers, because I meditate on your instructions. I have greater wisdom than old men because I obey your commands. I have avoided all evil conduct, because I want to obey your word. I have not neglected your instructions, because you yourself are my teacher. How sweet is the taste of your instructions – sweeter even than honey. I gain wisdom from your laws, and so I hate all bad conduct.

Psalm 119:97-104

No matter how much more time you have left in this world, start reading the Bible today if that has not been your practice previously. Resolve to read it regularly. It is the Book that will bless you while you are still in the world. And it will show you that through faith in Jesus Christ you can be sure of eternal blessedness in the world to come.
