The Bible:

The Bible is one of the most important attributes of our faith. It is the bedrock of everything we believe and trust in. Without it, we have nothing to base our life and experience on. We can say that with such certainty because the Bible itself says in John 1 that Jesus Himself is the Word! He is the Word that became flesh. All throughout the pages of scripture, Jesus is making Himself known, everything within the Bible is written to reveal and point us towards Jesus Christ and His good news! Psalm 119 is David’s psalm of love for the Word of God. You’ll notice every verse mentions SOMETHING about the scripture—A “testimony,” A “precept,” a “commandment,” a “law,” “Your Word.” These are all different ways David talks with such passionate love for the Holy Scriptures! It almost feels more like a love song than a psalm about the Bible. Rightfully so, because David had a revelation that “those who love Your law have great peace, and nothing causes them to stumble.” (Psalm 119:165) This is how important it was to David. He talks about rising early, staying up late, and meditating on the Scriptures as much as physically possible. This is right in line with what Jesus Himself teaches when He says, “if you abide in me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you!” (John 15:7)Wow, this seems important to keep reading the Bible! No wonder there is such opposition and distraction keeping us from spending time in the Word. The devil knows the fruit it will produce! Spend time meditating on Psalm 119 today and let God fill you with fresh passion and hunger for His Word!
